Quick note for anyone who is living in Brisbane or was born in Brisbane and thinks they can write. There’s a short story competition put on by the Brisbane City Council that has ten prizes of $6000 each up for grabs.
You just need 4000-6000 words, fiction or non-fiction, any genre as long as it somehow relates to Brisbane. They’re the basics but the BCC website lists all the conditions so you should check them all out before starting anything (the born/living here thing is a requirement). Submissions need to be in by 10th December and the ten winners are published together in a book.
If I can get anything together I’m thinking something Brunswick St based about prostitutes and drug dealers. Got to work with what you know. With ten prizes though I’m sure to get some of that cash. How hard can it be?
Any real writers who do not quality should feel free to write a story anyway and I’ll submit it for them. I'll split the proceeds 60-40, straight down the middle.

Hey Sam, what's your thoughts on Seymour Hersh's 'revelation' that Iran is next for American bombs, and that Australia has made an 'expression of interest'. Surprised?
