1. To Reject or Not To Reject?
Writers often complain about rejection letters. But we discovered sometimes its better to be turned down than turned away by waiting in definitely on submissions status. We took our policy to the people and asked writers what they preferred. See our site for updated guidelines and to see the discussion see the link below.

5. NEW BOOK RELEASE: Night Falling

In his new novel Night Falling, Martin Chipperfield explores the aftermath of an unspeakable family tragedy. Rick Davis, an up-and-coming deejay on a metropolitan radio station, is given drive-time, the coveted rush-hour slot, but as his career catapults to sublime levels, his marriage collapses. The once-happy relationship is doomed by the event they will not speak of, and they are both overwhelmed.


The characters in Night Falling are like ships in the night, with no lights—bumping into each other, drifting through pitch black seas of confusion and jealousy, pain and fantasy—lives crashing together, drowning and gasping to survive. A caller threatens arson, a beggar on the sidewalk crouches in the darkness singing a haunting melody as Rick passes by. A bizarre array of characters move in and out of Rick’s life, mirroring his despair and a growing sense of isolation.


Told in poetic free verse, Night Falling looks deeply into human nature and modern marriage, uncovering the resentment and blame that can destroy love, and tracing out how even the sweetest of marriages can be reduced to ashes.


ABOUT THE AUTHOR: WHO IS MARTIN CHIPPERFIELD?
Martin Chipperfield was buying a hamburger when he heard the radio deejay crossing for the latest weather information. The trouble was that Martin was supposed to be doing it. He had finished reading the news and dashed out of the studio for something to eat forgetting that the weather was next. He ran back out of the hamburger shop, down a block, around a corner, up a flight of stairs, and burst into the studio just as the deejay opened the mike for the weather. But all that the listeners heard was Martin gasping for breath.


Martin makes use of his exciting misadventures on radio in Night Falling. As a writer and editor (and deejay) Martin has worked in radio, television, newspapers, and magazines. He has had two plays "Making Love" and "Morning After" produced by the Australian Broadcasting Commission, and a stage play The Documents performed in his home town Adelaide. He twice sold the movie script Departure which has not yet made it to the screen and a television script Hello Out There, the precursor of Night Falling. His movie script Parting Touches was shortlisted recently by the Australian Film Commission for production funding.
