Five Australian publishers each offer tips for getting published.
1 2 y separately published work icon Feral Tracks : The Novel Adapted from the Screenplay Euan Mitchell , Carlton North : The Vulgar Press , 2010 Z1681256 2010 single work novel young adult

'A novel based on the true story of a sixteen-year-old schoolboy who ran away from home with four dollars and hitchhiked around Australia. Daniel's exploits are a roller-coaster ride through a wild summer 'off the leash', the madness of share-house living, outback mustering of feral cattle, and nightclub excess. Told with driving energy, blunt honesty and dry humour, Feral Tracks shows why survival on the road means growing up fast. Feral Tracks captivated teenagers when first released in 1998, including reluctant male readers. It was short-listed for a readers' choice award and optioned for a feature film. The screenplay was created in 2002 and, although not produced as a movie, inspired this newly rewritten version of the story. Feral Tracks: the novel adapted from the screenplay has transformed the travelogue style of the first publication into a more tightly structured story format for a fresh readership.'

'If you've ever wanted to make it in music, then Making Noises is your novel. Marty is a rock musician on the wrong side of thirty who needs to change his tastes in music, women and cities. Billy is fifteen, talented and in prison. The two are thrown together by the fast-talking former politician, Perce 'Perk' Harrigan, whose powerful friends have handed him the plum job of launching the Oz Rock Foundation. Oz Rock uses taxpayer dollars to promote hip bands and quietly lift the Prime Minister's youth vote. Harrigan and his sultry but fascist assistant, Ingrid, need to 'spin' Oz Rock into orbit despite the cynics. They enlist Marty's help to manipulate Billy to the top of the music charts. But their greatest enemy may not be the one publicly calling for Harrigan's head. ' (Publication summary)
