phd exegesis complete

16/1/2024

0 Comments

 
​I have just sent an email that has me floating. I just submitted the exegesis for my PhD in Creative Writing to my supervisors. I feel so tired and so relieved. I've been chipping away at my PhD for the past six years while working full time initially, and then part time as teacher. I've already completed my creative component and a novel at 80,000 words, which I now need to revise, and had to complete my exegesis of 20,000 words. The working title of my Exegesis: Bridging Narratives: Unveiling Perspectives on the Srebrenica Genocide through Non-Bosnian Novels and the Call for Inclusive Bosnian Studies.  In this photo you can see the four books that have formed the theory of my exegesis. I am one step closer to my dream of being Dr Pajalic. Can't wait!!!!! #phdlife #phd #phdcommunity #phdthesis #phdprogress #writingcommunity #writer #amwriting

​Jesse's Triumph-Covid Copy-AUS residents only

16/1/2024

0 Comments

 
What happens when an author orders a proof copy while they have COVID? They type in the wrong quantity number and end up with a book that has a typo in the blurb. My loss is your gain. Enter your name and address and I'll post you a copy of my YA novel Jesse's Triumph for free--no gimmicks. If you read it and like it, tell someone or post a review, but there's no obligations or expectations. I just don't want to have to pulp them all. This is only available to Australian residents as international postage is crazy expensive. Offer available until all gone!!!!

Fikret pajalic blog post about short story writing

15/1/2024

Fikret Pajalic has a blog post featured on Lee Kofman's wonderful blog about writing. Here is what she had to say "Writers of short fiction, you might like to check this very practical advice that short story author Fikret Pajalic imparts on my blog this month. Fikret is, in my opinion, one of the most exciting newcomers onto Australian literary scene. (His short story collection 'Complication' was published in September last year by Pishukin Press and it literally blew me away.)"
