I come from a city (over-sized town) in Australia that I call a one Publisher Town. I've moved to the big cities to try and get jobs in publishing and my books published. When I left school I slipped into a period of blue-collar work, rather than university, so I'm a bit left behind when it comes to having the qualifications BUT I've learnt that the publishing industry, if seen as some grand castle you can get in to, is only going to crush you. It takes connections to get to the cool places, so I've decided to create my own publishing entity - bit by bloody bit. I am my own Intern, Editor, Illustrator and gladly, Despatch and sometimes Delivery Man! What ever way you approach it, We all have to work hard.
