1. Kani Consultants is currently accepting manuscripts for editing and publishing – children’s books, novels and short stories.
2. Life’s Toolbox anthologies (closes 31 August)
Your life experience has given you tools that can encourage, help, teach, or humour readers.
We want to share your story so readers:
- Have a better day
- Know they are not alone, and
- Have tools to help themselves and others
Stories can be TRUE, INSPIRED by TRUTH or FICTION
| ADDICTIONS AND RECOVERY | AUSTRALIAN STORIES | MATURITY AND WISDOM |
| Encouraging stories about the experience and life during and after any type of addiction. Many are addicted to something, from drugs or alcohol, work or our mobile phones. Remember: * Keep it purposeful – your story has the power to change a life! * Have a message that can help others. * The story does not have to be yours, does not have to identify the person, and does not have to be true. | Face it, Aussies are unique. But how? Let’s explore our habits, histories and characteristics that make us truly Aussie (whatever that means). For example: * Aussie bravado; * The good ol’ BBQ; * Our environment and climate – from the beach to the fires, and what we do with it; * The hazards – our pot-holed roads and the creatures that bite. | Like it or not, wisdom is supposed to come with age and experience. Let’s hear about some of the valuable insight from those who have lived through more than us. Remember though: * Maturity isn’t always associated with age! * Your experience can help someone else when they go through the same thing. * Being older does not necessarily mean you are smarter. |
