My photo and review of Blackwater Moon, and The Collector published in the June 2013 edition of Good Reading Magazine |
A number of weeks ago GR staff invited readers to submit a review of their favourite crime novel for the special crime guide, and I decided to submit two. I wasn't sure what other readers might submit and thought I would increase my chances of being published if I chose to review a contemporary crime novel and a vintage classic.
I love supporting Aussie writers, so I decided the first had to be Australian, and there was no question I would be submitting a review for crime novel Blackwater Moon by B. Michael Radburn.
For balance, the second review I chose to submit was a vintage classic in the form of The Collector by John Fowles (4 stars).
I was both surprised and ecstatic to find out a few weeks later that both reviews would be published, and included in the guide alongside a photo in an article called Caught Reading. Woohoo!! Without gloating, I've now had a review published each year since 2011 and I'm so proud of this accomplishment.
The special June crime edition of Good Reading Magazine is out now!
Carpe Librum!

Congrats Tracey! I can't afford to subscribe but I am first in the queue when it hits my library shelves each month and I will enjoy looking for them!

Thanks Shelleyrae, it's my favourite magazine and the only thing I subscribe to. Have you thought of submitting a review? Given your book-a-day habit you would have plenty of choice ;-)
