 Words by Charlotte Guest, Publishing Officer at UWA Publishing
Every week, we receive calls and emails asking a particular set of questions that revolve around one central issue: how does a first time writer get published?

Now, in the twenty-first century, we fear the impact of typing and electronic texts upon memory and learning, majority opinion being that we process information more thoroughly if we hand write notes as opposed to typing them.
