Write to Publish, a tertiary level text book co-written with my good friend Gina Perry, was published by Allen & Unwin in 1999 and is still in print. It has been on the curriculum of several TAFE and university professional writing courses.
You’ll find more details at Allen & Unwin and at the Books For Collection blog.
Jacaranda Avenue, a collection of 30 previously published non-fiction stories, was self-published in 2003. The Age said of Jacaranda Avenue: ‘Maskell is no cappuccino columnist, easily excited by his own navel fluff: rather his preoccupation is with the domestic details that inform the spirit: the meaning of a corrugated-iron water tank, the secret message in the static of a transistor radio. And while suburbia is usually synonymous with the banal, Maskell describes the fluidity of our lives within those safe streets..’
Jacaranda Avenue is available online by writing to vmaskell@alphalink.com.au
