It’s often this editing process that makes all the difference between a good piece of work and a great one. The thirty pieces or shortlisted work that made it into the anthology, really came down to the elements of good writing working: powerful imagery, strong rhythms, original concepts, and something hard to pin down – a kind of beauty combined with honesty that kept us thinking about the work. These pieces were generally the more ambitious stories and poems that tried to tackle something that can’t be said easily, which is why it’s such good fodder for creative writing.
Über den Autor
Bethany’s love of writing started when she was 9, when her teacher made her do five-minute writing tasks. Even now she enjoys doing prompt challenges. Bethany has a Bachelor of Social Science – a field that does qualitative research; listens to people’s stories and lived experiences alongside statistical research. She has written two children’s stories and one fantasy fiction novel, all three of which are being edited with the view to traditional publication. Bethany has been an artist all of her life, the only formal training since school was a Certificate 4 in Graphic Design, done for the sheer love of art. Typically, she paints in a ’naive style‘, so illustrating this anthology was an interesting chance to expand her repertoire.
