From satire to sci-fi there’s a whole plethora of writing styles out there. Whether you know your genre and stick to it, or if you’re happier experimenting with whatever catches your attention, we’ll have something to titilate you at EssentialWriters.com this week, and maybe even inspire you to try something new.

If you’re an experienced journalist with a passion for classical music, take a look at the Jobs etc section on Monday for a great opportunity with The Strad magazine.

On Monday afternoon you can read my interview with Roby James, an editor at California-based publishing house Norilana. She talks about the annual sci-fi anthology she edits, and what she seeks in submissions.

On Tuesday you’ll be able to read Martin Cloake’s review of the upcoming Serpant’s Tail release Bad Penny Blues, followed in the afternoon by my interview with the author of the book, noir crime writer Cathi Unsworth.

On Wednesday you’ll be able to find out details of the Narrative Fall Story Contest, which seeks submissions of short stories, novel extracts, memoirs and more.

In the afternoon you’ll be able to read an interview with Andrew W. M. Beierle. Andrew is the author of The Winter of Our Discothèque and First Person Plural, the first of which moved one reviewer to describe him as the “love child of Jackie Collins and Danielle Steel”.

On Thursday find out about a call for submissions from Black Market Review, Edge Hill University’s literary e-journal, and read an interview with freelance journalist Debbie Willimott who tells us how an internship started her career.

Our Friday Feature has been written by new contributor Fran Hill, a teacher and writer who pens a monthly column for the Comment page of the Times Educational Supplement. For EssentialWriters.com she tackles the thorny subject of writing satire.
