Getting your own work published



LET your inner author live. That is the catchcry of a Toowoomba Education Centre competition offering readers who write a rare chance to self-publish.

The centre, in collaboration with The Chronicle, is encouraging Darling Downs scribes to put pen to paper with a view to being one of 10 whose work will become part of a published anthology.

The theme of the book is "Past, Present and Future" and is expected to spark a deluge of memories and dreams . It is a theme TEC sales consultant Jenny Page hopes will set the scene for a variety of submissions from people of all ages.

"There is a wealth of talent in our region. We recognise it, and want to celebrate it," Ms Page said.

"We want to get people talking about their family history, and momentous events, which should be captured for future generations when they come together for the festive season. "The theme of the book leaves a lot of scope for our authors."

People whose work is selected for the compilation will each receive 100 copies for personal distribution. A further 1000 copies will be made available for the public to buy at a nominal fee.

Entries from any genre ? from children's stories to family histories, diary excerpts and gran's favourite recipes ? will be accepted.

Entries should be from 3000 to 5000 words.
