I got a response from Meanjin about my essay pitch, which is pretty exciting. I emailed the manuscript and am happy to have just piqued their interest.

I finished reading the manuscript of the novel I’m editing for a friend I made while working at Wakefield Press. It’s a really good manuscript and I’m enjoying finding the places where I can make suggestions to really make it shine, thematically and stylistically. (Such as deleting adverbs 😉

I registered for next semester’s classes and my timetable looks like a sieve. It seems that a prerequisite for getting ideal tute times is the ability to warp timespace. But the subjects are cool:

• Introduction to Literary and Cultural Studies
• Writing the Short Story
• Swords and Spaceships: Writing Genre

I dropped my fourth subject because I need more time for paid employment and the professiona-creative-practice subject for this semester would be better suited for when I’m getting nearer the end of the degree.
