The week ahead at EssentialWriters.com

Following a week that inadvertently ended up with a special focus on film writing, we carry on that theme a Friday feature on screenwriting for Hollywood. However, the rest of the week offers an abundance of diverse posts to inspire you, from an interview with a literary agent to a review of John Keats’ poetry and love letters to a writing competition on the subject of parenthood.
So wherever your writing interests lie, you’ll find something to intrigue and motivate you at EssentialWriters.com.
Take a look at the Jobs etc section on Monday for a great job opportunity to boost your journalism career, especially if you have a background in science.
On Monday afternoon you can gain some valuable advice by reading my interview with Caroline Montgomery, a literary agent at Rupert Crew Ltd.
On Tuesday you’ll be able to read my review of a new release from Penguin Classics, So Bright and Delicate: Love Letters and Poems of John Keats to Fanny Brawne. Jane Campion, the award-winning director and writer of the film Bright Star, examining the love affair between the poet and Fanny Brawne, has published his love letters to Fanny along with a selection of his most powerful poems. It makes emotional reading.
On Wednesday discover a great short story writing competition with no entry fee, and a first prize of £100.
On Thursday you can find out about a call for submissions from a publishing house seeking poetry and prose on the subject of parenthood.
If you submit writing to magazines, competitions, agents or publishing houses, let us know how you get on by visiting the forums. We currently have a thread there on this very subject. How do you maintain your motivation? What’s the worst response you’ve had? What’s the best? Tell us about the moment that made it all worthwhile!
Our Friday feature is an invaluable look into what it takes to write a successful screenplay, written by award-winning screenplay writer Donald Vasicek.
We’re currently accepting submissions of features and reviews, giving you an opportunity to show of your writing skills, so send an email to judy@EssentialWriters.com and let us know what you’d like to write about!
