Hi Martin, thanks for the follow. I like your style just from your first post, so I’ll be signing up to your blog too. Look forward to reading more 🙂
Hi Martin!
I’m glad I found your blog as I am trying to suss out the writing scene in Perth!
I’ve only just started my blog and am going to start publishing some of my writing on it soon. 🙂
Hey Sophie, glad to hear of another Perth writer out there.
If you’re keen to meet local writing types, there’s a writers group I’m an organiser with that catches up regularly. Next meet is this Thurday.

Sounds great, but I actually leave on Sunday to the UK for 5 weeks. Will definitely come along in the new year though. Thanks! 🙂
