Another School Task.
Online Writing:
Since the content of websites constantly changes, we have determined the best payment structure is an annual, recurring licence fee. Minimum payment is for one year’s use regardless of whether or not the works licensed are made available for the full period or not. Since it is impossible to come up with a digital equivalent of a print run, the annual licence fee includes a load factor as compensation for communication of the licensed material. The fee does not decrease should the material be used on a limited access intranet.
The fee: Per poem or 1000 words or illustration or part thereof, $350 per annum
Freelance writing:
These rates are based on the 2010 National Freelance Rates approved by the Media, Entertainment and Arts Alliance and apply to all genres except poetry. They apply to prose (such as articles or short fiction for magazines, journals or newspapers) which is commissioned on a freelance or casual basis and previously unpublished.
• Per day = $878
• Per half day = $585 (2/3 day rate)
• Per hour = $219
• 1000 words or less = $892
• Per word thereafter = $0.89

Australian Horror Writers Association
The Australian Horror Writers Association (AHWA) is a non-profit organisation that formed unofficially in 2003 as a way of providing a unified voice and a sense of community for Australian writers of dark fiction, while helping the development and evolution of this genre within Australia.
HWA aims to become the first point of reference for writers and fans of the dark side of literature in Australia. AHWA aims to spread the acceptance and improve the understanding of what horror is in literature to a wider audience, and in doing so gain a greater readership for established and new writers alike.
Australian Society of Authors
The Australian Society of Authors is the professional association for Australia's literary creators.
The ASA was formed in 1963 to promote and protect the rights of Australia's writers and illustrators, and now has almost 3000 members across Australia.

They provide a contract advisory service, run mentorships for new and emerging writers and offer advice about writing, copyright and publishing. Membership fees are tax-deductible expenses for professional writers.

Facebook Writing Groups
is a facebook group that focuses on a community effort to compile the news of the publishing industry and the latest tips and tricks of writing to help you finish your project. It’s an open group with only about 130+ members. The group in fact seems derelict, as the last post was in May of this year. But there are still some good compiled posts there that some people may be interested in.

Authors, Agentsand Aspiring Writers
is a more established group, with over 2500 members and still climbing, Authors, Agents, and Aspiring Writers: A group dedicated to excellence in writing while nurturing a greater sense of community among all members. They invite all writers of all genres to join us and discuss industry trends, share exciting news, organize workshops, and ask the hard questions.
Though the writing profession may be pleasurable and sometimes rewarding, it’s also a solitary one. This forum is committed to helping writers reach out to one another -- to grow and to share the collective wealth of experience, knowledge, and advice. But our group is not just a vast resource of support; the mission is also to motivate and to let the writer know – you are never alone.
