Hague Publishing will be at #SwanCon this weekend (Covid permitting). The last time SwanCon was held author Leonie Rogers (@RaeYesac) joined us. This year we’re running solo, so drop by and chat, or join us for one of three panels we’re on.

A writer’s view of the pandemic5 Jun 2021, Saturday 13:00 – 14:00, Duxton 1 (Duxton Hotel)

How will the COVID-19 affect you, the writer? Have to throw away a script that was “Too soon”? More familiar with the effects of isolation? Did the quiet time finally give you time to write you magnum opus?

Samantha Murray, Andrew Harvey (Hague Publishing / Science Fiction Author), Rebecca Laffar-Smith (Sci Fi Fantasy Author), Amanda Bridgeman

Unreliable narrators: a subjective and uncertain discussion Format: Panel
6 Jun 2021, Sunday 10:00 – 11:00, Duxton 1 (Duxton Hotel)

Unreliable narrators: a subjective and uncertain tour through the story-telling options for introducing biased narrators, not limited to accidental telepathy, too much partying, deceit, stupidity and obliviousness.

Andrew Harvey (Hague Publishing / Science Fiction Author), Stephen Dedman

Writing 001: Help and assistance for new Writers6 Jun 2021, Sunday 15:00 – 16:00, Duxton 1 (Duxton Hotel)

Hague Publishing accepting submissions in June and July

Typewriter and the words 'Open call for submissions'Hague Publishing is seeking previously unpublished Science Fiction or Fantasy manuscripts by new or established Australian and New Zealand authors. This year we have amended our submission guidelines and ask all prospective authors to purchase a book from Hague Publishing before submission. This is partly to contribute a small amount to the hours of reading many submissions, partly so you are familiar with our list, and partly to support fellow Australian and New Zealand artists.

How to submit

Please read our submissions guideline (http://haguepublishing.com/submission.shtml).

Complete manuscripts are to be submitted via our online submissions system at http://haguepublishing.com/submit/index.php.

Further information about our publishing process (including a link to our standard contract) can be found at http://haguepublishing.com/publishing.shtml.
