Fiction Focus (the print version) here at last

We apologise that the first print edition of Fiction Focus for 2008 has taken so long to reach our subscribers. All sorts of unexpected delays have occurred, but at last it is being distributed and should be in your mailboxes soon.

Regular readers will notice some changes that reflect ideas from last year’s survey. Please use this blog to comment about these.

Fiction Focus is distributed free of charge to all public secondary and district high schools in Western Australia and is available on subscription to Australian and overseas readers.

20 Years of Fiction Focus.

In its 20 years of publication, Fiction Focus has increased in size and scope and has developed an extensive Australia-wide network of reviewers, providing a broad teacher perspective. Its reputation as a useful selection tool and practical resource to assist teachers in their curriculum planning is evident in the growing number of subscribers. Dissemination of information about books and reading via the website is the most significant change in the last 10 years. Teacher and librarian comments indicate that a print journal supplemented by online access to information is the most convenient option for their needs. Read more here.
