Here are some weblinks that track six Australian authors. There are links that will take you to their website or there are a few web articles about how they got their start as writers. You may wish to visit the links and respond to these questions in your blog.
1. Have a look at what's on their site. How have they designed their site in a way that tries to appeal to their readers?
2. Authors often remark about how they began their careers in writing. Compare how these Australian authors got their start, when they started, their inspiration for writing.
3. Every writer is different. Choose 2 different authors and find out what makes their style their own and what people enjoy about their writing.
4. Think about the book you're currently reading (or maybe the previous one). Track down this author's website and record a summary about him/her. Perhaps there are some interesting tales they tell about their early writing days.
