Elwood Writers founding member, Jennifer Bryce, last year published her first novel Lily Campbell’s Secret. This Australian story is set post World War One, at a time when Australians were putting their lives back together again after their men had fought in Gallipoli and on the Western Front. With war as a backdrop, newly married young Lily Campbell is faced with many challenges and secrets of her own. For more on this book go to Jennifer’s blog:
We at Elwood Writers are very proud of our publications and writing history. There will be further updates soon. In the meantime, happy writing to everyone.
Margaret is a Melbourne/Naarm-based writer developing a memoir about the relationship she had with her father, who'd been wounded during the Second World War and made a German prisoner of war.
Excerpts from her manuscript can be found in American Writers Review, Jewels of San Fedele and Clairitage Press. In 2013 she was awarded a scholarship to the Norman Mailer Writers Colony where, under the tutelage of Kaylie Jones, she realised that no war is a 'good war' for those returned soldiers ignored by their governments. In 2015, she received an MA in Creative Writing from Wilkes University, PA. She writes non-fiction, memoir and the occasional short story.
