What To Do When You Don’t Have A Book Coming Out …
… & Even More Sage Advice!
Yes, my second Writer Chap is out from Brain Jar Press. A companion volume for Your Are Not Your Writing & Other Sage Advice.
Filled with unsolicited (but generally useful) advice, anecdotes, occasional subtweets, comments about writers drinking – but mostly words.
You can order it here.

Flight!
And so, Flight will be a real thing at last! All of the thank yous to PS Publishing for making this possible. My words and the arting of the inimitable Kathleen Jennings.
You can pre-order here – either the limited edition signed and numbered version (200 copies only) or the “ordinary” jacketed hardcover (a bit cheaper, but still pretty damned glorious tbh).

Limited Edition of All the Murmuring Bones
The lovely limited edition of All the Murmuring Bones is now available from the wonderful Tartarus Press. There are only 300 copies of these, so when this edition’s gone, it’s gone. (There are, of course, the gorgeous paperbacks from Titan Books!)
You can order from your local bookshop or directly from Tartarus Press. They will ship anywhere in the world.
The cover art is, of course, by the inimitable Kathleen Jennings.

Closure of the Flensing Factory
Hello!
Due to a change in my circumstances (for the better!) I’m closing the Flensing Factory.
Any current mentees and clients I’ll continue working with you until the end of our agreements, but won’t be taking on new clients.
Having said that, I’m going to be working for the Australian Writers’ Centre and will be teaching, mentoring and assessing manuscripts for that august organisation, so check out their website https://www.writerscentre.com.au/
If you’re looking for an editor, I can offer recommendations – email me on me@angelaslatter.com.

The Strange, the Weird and the Uncanny podcast
Hello, my poor neglected blog.
Yesterday I had the privilege of reading on Daniel Braum’s podcast The Strange, the Weird and the Uncanny.
An experience made even better by reading alongside of Kathe Koja, Nathan Carson, Philip Fracassi and Dan himself.
You can listen here if you so wish.
Great stories, much horror.
Plus goats.

Queensland Premier’s Literary Awards!
Voting is now OPEN for the Courier Mail People’s Choice Queensland Book of the Year Award! The judges have shortlisted eight books by Queensland authors. Polling closes 16 Aug with only one vote allowed per person. http://ow.ly/zcXB50FytGD #QldLitAwards
And I’m so excited to say that All the Murmuring Bones is on that list! As is Kathleen Jennings’ Flyaway, a book close to my heart.
Judges’ comments on All the Murmuring Bones:
Miren O’Malley is the last of the O’Malley lineage, a once-great family that now finds itself on hard times. An clever mix of gothic tale and short story, this brilliant novel builds a world that makes you believe in magic and monsters. Truly a magnificent achievement.
