My first review for 'Smokehouse'. Humbled and delighted.
Simon McDonald@writtenbysime18 Sep 2020
“Smokehouse,” Melissa Manning’s superb debut collection of intertwined short stories, takes a novel’s worth of emotional density, strips away all the fat, and crushes what’s left into ten masterfully poignant tales. writtenbysime.com/2020/09/19…

Quick cuppa break between client copywriting & my manuscript editing & hunkering down with @Writers_Vic mag. Goodness @missrobyngrace short story SLEEPING is a gloriously well written gut punch. Well deserved Grace Marion Wilson win judged by @lissymanning & @wayneamarshall1

Support for the Arts, and writing in particular is thin on the ground in this country. The closure of Glenfern writers studios is a crushing blow. – at Melbourne, Victoria

"Over the years, more than 150 writers have had spaces in Glenfern, either on fellowships or paying affordable rents. Many award-winning books have been written there." Closing... 🫤 #Glenfern #writingstudios theage.com.au/culture/books/…

‘A callous blow’ to writers as Glenfern closes its doors

After 16 years, the studios at the National Trust’s St Kilda mansion will no longer be available to Victorian writers.
