'Every writer has to find their own way to emerge - there is no set route, no absolute path and no road that must be followed. But there is a lot we can learn from those who have travelled before us: how to get there more directly, how to bypass the road blocks, traverse the peaks and valleys, or which is the most scenic route.
This work is an insider's guide full of valuable advice from fellow travellers - a resource you can keep within arm's length, for when you need to consult that map again to help you find your way.' (Source: Emerging Writers' Festival website www.emergingwritersfestival.org.au)
