Diane Donovan, senior reviewer from Midwest Book Review, praised White Oaks, calling it, “an unusually multifaceted tale that holds the ability to prompt laughter from thriller-style tension.” Jill Hand’s novel, Rosina and the Travel Agency, and The Blue Horse, a novella, follow the adventures of a young woman rescued from a terrible railway accident in 1889 by a twenty-fourth-century enterprise known as the Travel Agency, which is in the business of time travel tourism. https://www.samjokomagazine.com/a-content-creators-magazine/stevensouthard-guestblog2 monthly 0.5 2021-10-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61356427653d65510321392f/1632298745114-9NEJN69DANZ52GJA5YEJ/pexels-lucas-piero-312491.jpg A Content Creator's Magazine - Guest Blog 2 - Thrilling because you’re imagining how great it will be when it’s finished, how much others will appreciate it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61356427653d65510321392f/1632302059416-DCXCLBYFIF65PTZ0SYGT/pexels-mauri%CC%81cio-mascaro-4636148.jpg A Content Creator's Magazine - Guest Blog 2 - Terrifying because there’s a chance you’ll fail, produce something awful, and all your hard work will be for nothing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61356427653d65510321392f/1632299135914-8DJW18EE4YNDUY7JLAEQ/pexels-simon-reza-9275867.jpg A Content Creator's Magazine - Guest Blog 2 - The beginning is a time of infinite promise, of wondrous expectations, of boundless hope. But our minds tinge those feelings with understandable doubt, worry, and even dread. All great projects in history had beginnings, and those in charge felt the same way you do now. Before Shakespeare wrote Hamlet, he likely fretted about whether his contemporaries would applaud it. Before the Egyptian pyramid designers begin work, they must have felt trepidation, too. What would the pharaoh do if the structure collapsed? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61356427653d65510321392f/1632299495156-ABDYKRO9TKJ364G9NKFV/pexels-cottonbro-6530970.jpg A Content Creator's Magazine - Guest Blog 2 - Perhaps that condition—drunk and in charge of a bicycle—describes the beginning of all stories, the start of all worthwhile endeavors. [Safety Note: When I use Bradbury’s phrase, I’m using it metaphorically. I do not endorse operating any sort of vehicle, including a bicycle, while intoxicated.] https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61356427653d65510321392f/1632299701286-VBJ17OIQ4O4F9VY1OLE0/pexels-meruyert-gonullu-6243730.jpg A Content Creator's Magazine - Guest Blog 2 - Allow some flexibility in your plans, though. Realize that circumstances may alter your vision along the way. As Martin Luther King Junior put it, “You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.” https://www.samjokomagazine.com/a-content-creators-magazine/gillian-polack-guestblog-1 monthly 0.5 2021-09-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61356427653d65510321392f/1631959366359-JUCCXT1N6G9TLPNB7BGN/Baggagefrontcover.jpg A Content Creator's Magazine - Guest Blog 1 I had two lists of dream writers for this perfect anthology, but I never reached the second because acceptances from the first list filled the volume. We called it Baggage. It was seen and loved and sold out of its print run very, very quickly. BAGGAGE, Tales of Speculative Fiction https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61356427653d65510321392f/1631959574101-BA4PRZJC76W1KCEPG9K9/unsplash-image-WEtXkeIlMoM.jpg A Content Creator's Magazine - Guest Blog 1 The authors are some of Australia’s best. I’m very, very fortunate to have worked with them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61356427653d65510321392f/1631959827669-4AJEY0RI5L9YPI0DL02Q/IMG_8863.JPG A Content Creator's Magazine - Guest Blog 1 How do I explain K. J. Bishop’s fiction without referring to The Etched City? I can’t. How can I explain The Etched City? I also can’t. Her story “Vision Splendid” in Baggage is the far end of the science fictional spectrum to The Etched City, in any case. It’s about the beauty in small things, and the shape of a human life.. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61356427653d65510321392f/1631959968733-UTJNQ8PKQVFPC27HCMAF/IMG_8864.JPG A Content Creator's Magazine - Guest Blog 1 Jack Dann is best known for a prize-winning novel, The Memory Cathedral. I love that novel so much that no-one may borrow my copy of it. Not ever. When I asked him for something about cultural baggage he said, “I have a very special poem.” He had permission to write about the experience that’s at the heart of the poem. A rare moment of his life telescoped into a poem. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61356427653d65510321392f/1631960096519-ZDGT1PC0MG4NYWWVMV7P/IMG_8865.JPG A Content Creator's Magazine - Guest Blog 1 Kaaron Warren is one of the world’s best horror writers. Whenever anyone asks me to explain her writing, I have a bad habit of saying, “Imagine that the protective outer layer of your skin has been peeled off, and that a bad wind blows over it, cold and chill and dangerous.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61356427653d65510321392f/1631960255865-PQ2Y5WHQKOWURYNOUP93/unsplash-image-FK5uXiCp9-Q.jpg A Content Creator's Magazine - Guest Blog 1 My favourite editing experience was when I worked with Yaritji Green. All the stories in the volume draw on the writer’s cultural background and so Yaritji drew on her mother’s Yankunytjatjara culture. The writing and editing took on a very special shape as the story was approved by Elders at every stage. It’s another small story that is big, about what death means and how important respect can be. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61356427653d65510321392f/1631960484121-LGGS776TOIJXK6NCAHXM/IMG_8867.PNG A Content Creator's Magazine - Guest Blog 1 Janeen Webb wrote me a story called “Manifest Destiny.” Janeen is an historian as well as a fiction writer and she is such a wordsmith that, when I read the first draft of her tale, it felt seamlessly nineteenth century. It tells us of explorers and settlers and dreams and nightmares. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61356427653d65510321392f/1631960577689-65KGLOK46HAV53369P6J/IMG_8868.JPG A Content Creator's Magazine - Guest Blog 1 A New Zealand glacier is one of Lucy Sussex’s characters in “Albert & Victoria/Slow dreams”. It’s another of the clever and thoughtful stories in this volume that undercut assumptions that European-origin people carry with us into places that are not, were not ever really European. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61356427653d65510321392f/1631960686873-IJ14IK8PIXGRY097LVXE/IMG_8869.JPG A Content Creator's Magazine - Guest Blog 1 Most readers know Jennifer Fallon for her exciting trilogies. Much adventure. Fascinating characters. Big fat fantasy or science fantasy at its very best. The story she wrote me is entirely different. “Macreadie v The Love Machine” is sardonic and sarcastic and a bit sly. It’s set in Sydney in the near future and has a famous actor at its heart. This story mocks the Australia we all think we know. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61356427653d65510321392f/1631960794100-2QC04XFCNZG7UPEJSTXG/IMG_8870.PNG A Content Creator's Magazine - Guest Blog 1 Maxine McArthur has slipped out of view recently, but, before then, she wrote some of the best Australian hard SF around. Her fictional spaceship felt so real that someone built it. “A Pearling Tale” is, however, more of a ghost story, set in our far north. It feels no less real. Every time I read it, I grip the desk at a particular point, just to remind myself that I’m at my desk and not on a dangerous voyage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61356427653d65510321392f/1631960911052-D6FSX0C5D7U5A1EHG7JR/IMG_8871.PNG A Content Creator's Magazine - Guest Blog 1 In every good volume, there’s a story that takes off the safety harness and roams into places that no-one has ever gone. Tessa Kum wrote that story for Baggage. “Acception” is about multiculturalism torn apart and people’s lives destroyed. It hurts to read and it’s impossible to stop reading. It’s brilliant. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61356427653d65510321392f/1631961084512-PZ12HV36P5E1D4J6RUG7/IMG_8872.JPG A Content Creator's Magazine - Guest Blog 1 I followed “Acception” by a story full of heart, because “Acception” is so full of hurt. Laura E. Goodin’s “An Ear for Home” tells us of sound and light and being impossibly far from home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61356427653d65510321392f/1631961173013-4GJVGFU2DYY1Q240JHC8/IMG_8873.JPG A Content Creator's Magazine - Guest Blog 1 Deborah Biancotti’s “Home Turf” is all about the legacy of war, and about Sydney. I haven't been to Sydney in far too long because of perpetual lockdowns. “Home Turf” is an embattled Sydney and perfect reading for right now. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61356427653d65510321392f/1631961287410-AB3O957BJ9TRT4FKPW6H/unsplash-image-v9X4-ACaPUs.jpg A Content Creator's Magazine - Guest Blog 1 Monica Carroll is a Canberra author and not well-known outside Canberra. This is a great pity. She’s a literary writer, who embeds the fantastic deeply into her tale. “Archives, space, shame, love” itself is about memory and life and paper and dreams. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61356427653d65510321392f/1631961382212-BEHR62GQMFC9C1DQ49LX/unsplash-image-jCo9Wv14Q1w.jpg A Content Creator's Magazine - Guest Blog 1 The last story is by Simon Brown.

She was recently awarded the A Bertram Chandler Award, for lifetime achievement. Her most recent novels are The Green Children Help Out, Borderlanders, and Poison and Light.

Paola’s book of poetry, often focused upon Hong Kong, does not only dwell there. Readers are taken to Malaysia in the poem, Flashback of Lemanak River: “As we land in Kuching, / the cold clouds, / hit by the mocking sun, / fade.” And Cuba, in one of the book’s longer poems, Cuba Libre: “He followed me to Havana, / a stowaway in the bus / exchanging poetry for meals”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61356427653d65510321392f/e3f1d6b6-d097-4c28-86d8-6f8ec4ed223f/paola-caronni-1017.jpeg Book Reviews - Uncharted Waters by Paola Caronni - PAOLA CARONNI was born in Italy and has been living in Asia for over twenty years. Now in Hong Kong, she works as a translator, interpreter and tutor of the Italian language, and as Director of the English edition of the online lifestyle, travel and culture magazine, Ciao Magazine, for which she regularly writes articles in English and Italian.

Leung - The colors are bright and hypnotic, much like the poetry between the covers. Truly a pleasant read, the poems in DON’T CRY, PHOENIX are written in a clear, easy to understand manner.

It reminds me of going to the library, back when that was the central means of finding new books. Spending hours walking the aisles, reading titles on the spines, sliding the books that sound interesting partially off the rack to see the cover. Then pulling a chosen few off the shelf to look at the blurb on the back, to open the book and read the dust jacket. And finally, after all of these quizzes, the final test: flipping to the beginning and reading the opening pages to see if this will be the book you check out. Of course, not choosing a book says nothing about the quality of writing, or its potential to be chosen by another reader. My siblings and I always chose different books based upon our varied tastes. The process of selection is a highly subjective one, though when choosing a menu meant to be consumed by others, one must also wonder if someone other than you is going to enjoy the fare. And so other questions arise to become part of the filtering process. For fiction, is the plot engaging enough? The characters alive on the page? The beginning an enticing enough hook? The resolution a satisfying enough conclusion. For poetry, is there rhythm to the poignant lines that flow down the page? Is the current strong enough to pull readers through the mysteries of the language? With a play, does the dialogue sound real? Does it sound like would be spoken from the lips of actual people despite the subject matter and staged setup? And if so, will anyone care about what the actors have to say? In non-fiction, are the insights universal though the recounting personal? Is the subject matter relevant? Will it push the boundaries of a reader’s perception? When the Submission Guidelines to Samjoko Magazine were first posted, people queried about what type of writing we were hoping to publish. Our response was always the same: as long as the piece meets the guidelines for word length, it will be considered. If there is an aesthetic Samjoko Magazine is looking for, however, it’s that the writing is engaging. The reader needs to forget where they are and who they are for a brief few moments as they see the world through another’s eyes, whether that mode of transference is prose, poetry, drama, or visual. And with that, enjoy the voyage of our Inaugural Issue. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61356427653d65510321392f/1642118308947-P65BX6HNK9K7YGICXMLD/unsplash-image-T5Ye7puWZxo.jpg Winter Issue I 2021 - FICTION WILD LIFE NO HARM MUST COME CODE MONKEY WRANGLER THE SUDDEN INTROSPECTIONS OF BORGE ISOUE THE BEAR / 곰 (Korean Translation) TYPEWRITER FITCOIN https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61356427653d65510321392f/1642118350807-PC0FDI4LA0CYKVA5LI78/unsplash-image-Qi7_i_ls2uo.jpg Winter Issue I 2021 - POETRY I READ THAT AND WEPT MODERN CRIMES GRASSHOPPERS ON INSECTICIDE DAY DIRECTIONS FOR USE A POEM FOR MYSELF https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61356427653d65510321392f/1642118512810-S0PPETYW85ZDH2C7BT0E/unsplash-image-4_axlytIqFs.jpg Winter Issue I 2021 - PLAY THE INTERNET GOD https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61356427653d65510321392f/1642118621362-S7ONBKLB6MLLZUZ44GBI/unsplash-image-XoiUrDgtB-g.jpg Winter Issue I 2021 - NON-FICTION IN PRAISE OF LIMINAL TIME https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61356427653d65510321392f/1642118874952-I417P4JW9XXRB9THZQSK/unsplash-image-gZXVaWhcEGg.jpg Winter Issue I 2021 - ART Growing Ideas https://www.samjokomagazine.com/winter-issue-2021-contributors daily 0.75 2022-01-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61356427653d65510321392f/1637193484117-DA4MASTH3GR6IX7OYNCN/unsplash-image-B8ZbJpe5eCA.jpg Winter Issue 2021 Contributors - Winter Issue I FITCOIN by DJ Tyrer (fiction) NO HARM MUST COME by Nick Clements (fiction)' TYPEWRITER by Nick Young (fiction) THE SUDDEN INTROSPECTIONS OF BORGE ISOUE by Abhijato Sensarma (fiction) THE BEAR by Derek Parker (fiction) WILD LIFE by Vanessa Santos (fiction) CODE MONKEY WRANGLER by Franco Amati (fiction) I READ THAT AND WEPT; MECONIUM by John Grey (poetry) MODERN CRIMES; QUEXQUE; MARGINALIA ON A BROKEN HEART; CIRCUMSPECTION; A SEED OF WILD DREAMS by Deborah L.
