Out of Latvia Out Now.

March 1, 2017 by Tahlia Newland

Out of Latvia Out Now.

Available now  A story of two men, a generation apart, one growing up in the shadow of the other. Peter Jirgens tells the story of his youth as the son of Arnold Jirgens, a Latvian immigrant, who struggled against discrimination to establish his family in Nowra, Australia. He shares the stories his father told him of the hardship of life under Soviet rule, his escape from Europe after World War Two and the early days of his new life as an immigrant in a land far from home. Fiercely Latvian, Arnold Jirgens longs to see his homeland once more and find out if his remaining family has survived, but as a Latvian citizen he, and any son of his, could be drafted into the Soviet army or sent to Siberia. Over the years, Arnold’s longing becomes Peter’s dream. Though his father is prepared to wait until the Soviets no longer control his country, Peter is not. In 1980, against the wishes of his parents and the advice of the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs, twenty-seven … [Read more...]

Recommended Editing Service

Recommended Editing Service

It's nice to be someone's recommended editing service. I just got this from the author of this book: "I initially contacted Tahlia and asked her to appraise my novel. She did a fantastic job for a modest charge. I then asked her to edit the book, and that turned out to be a more than satisfying experience. Tahlia was a pleasure to work with. She seemed to be brutally honest when need be, and she helped me see what I’d written in a different light. I think she improved my work greatly. I would work with her again and happily recommend her to others." Click here to find out more about the book. … [Read more...]

New publication Announcement: Out of Latvia – a memoir

AIA Publishing will publish this memoir in March. CLICK HERE to be notified when it's available. A story of two men, a generation apart, one growing up in the shadow of the other. Peter Jirgens tells the story of his youth as the son of Arnold Jirgens, a Latvian immigrant, who struggled against discrimination and deceit to establish his family in Nowra, Australia. He shares the stories his father told him of the hardship of life under Soviet rule, his escape from Europe after World War Two and the early days of his new life as an immigrant in a land far from home. Fiercely Latvian, Arnold Jirgens instils in his son a love for a country and people he has never seen. Arnold longs to return home, to see his homeland once more and find out if his remaining family has survived, but returning as a Latvian—and therefore Soviet—citizen could see him, and any son of his,  incarcerated, drafted into the Soviet army or sent to Siberia. Over the years, Arnold’s longing becomes … [Read more...]

Advanced dialogue tips: Subtext.

May 19, 2016 by Tahlia Newland

Advanced dialogue tips: Subtext.

Here are more dialogue tips from the book The Elements of Active Prose: Writing Tips to Make Your Prose Shine.  This post follows on from the previous post 4 tips for writing dialogue. Subtext in dialogue People don’t actually say everything they think. In dialogue, less is often more, and is usually more realistic. If you want the reader to know what a character is feeling, you can write the character’s thoughts as thoughts, if you’re in their POV—they don’t have to express them to the other character. Of course, if you’re not in the POV of the character whose thoughts you want to communicate, then you don’t have the option of writing out their inner thoughts; but in either situation, you can use their expressions, actions and gestures to communicate how they ‘really’ feel about the conversation. I say ‘how they ‘really’ feel’ because people do sometimes say one thing and think another, but body language can indicate what they really think. Noting this kind of detail creates … [Read more...]
