Sydney Writer's Festival course review

Quite a while ago I went to the Sydney Writer's festival to the one course I really wanted to go to--the "How to Get Published" course with Hazel Flynn.  There were bits I found good (how a publisher thinks, the Australian publishing industry) and bits that would have been good if I hadn't been exposed to all of the very good information on the Internet like Anne Mini's site, and Nathan Bransford's blog (in fact, Ms Flynn even quoted the blog, from a post I'd read).  I think the information was a revelation for most of the other participants, but for me it was old news.

I was still worthwhile and I'm glad I went, but it wasn't as useful as it could have been.
