Happy New Year! May 2010 bring you the book contract/journalism job/writing commission of your dreams.

Of course, to make dreams come true you often need to put in a lot of work, which is why EssentialWriters.com is packed full of ideas and opportunities for the year ahead.

The week begins with details of a great online journalism job for a fashion editor, ideal for fashion writers eager to take on a new challenge.

On Tuesday you can read my review of speculative lit mag Albedo Onefollowed by my interview with the magazine’s editor, Frank Ludlow, who tells us what gets him excited about short story submissions, regardless of genre.

If you’re into writing sci-fi,  come back on Wednesday for news of an anthology of sci-fi novellas which is currently seeking submissions of between 20,000 and 30,000 words.

On Friday, escape with my travel feature on the literary and inspirational highlights of Bergamo in north Italy. Next week I’ll be posting a travel feature on neighbouring Brescia so you can continue your journey.

These beautiful towns are crammed with story-fuel, from the lions guarding the doorways to the frescos decorating the walls. I already wrote about some of my Italian adventures on my blog, so find find out what I got up to at Joined up writing: a writer’s thoughts.

On Saturday we’ll be exploring the website of poet Angela Cleland. Angela released her debut poetry collection in 2007, and her website serves as an excellent accompaniment to her publications and readings, offering inspiration for burgeoning poets seeking to create an online following for themselves.
