Hello Writers, Poets, Artists and more. Verandah has elected to extend its submissions for two more weeks (ending on the 19th of June). So if you needed a few more days to put those final touches on your piece/poem/work of art, you've got it!

This is our last tip from Jodi. Go check out her books and writing and get cracking on your writerly projects!

Another hot tip from our resident author: Jodi McAlister.

Jodi McAlister, who has supplied us with these wonderful tips, has just published a book called 'Libby Lawrence is Good at Pretending' available everywhere! If you've loved her tips, go read them in action.

Some important advice in editing or writing up new pieces. Remember Submissions are still open for Verandah 37!
