Eight authors. Eight students. Eight stories. We are the University of the Sunshine Coast's graduating class of 2018. Our certificates say we are Masters of Professional Practice (Creative Writing). We say, 'Read our works.' Celebrate our graduation. Explore eMerge, an anthology from extracts of our novels. You want aliens and a matriarchal society--it's there. Dystopian Australia--no worries. A childhood robbed--get your handkerchief. A shipwrecked heroine--it's truly unbelievable. A lighthouse--see inside a family salvaged. An African slave, drummer boy and convict--a founder of Australia. The life of an unwed Victorian mother--experience the unimaginable. An alcoholic motorcyclist--rode around Australia--dry. Different worlds; different stories. Fiction and non-fiction. Brilliant works our foremost goal. These are the journeys of USC Masters. Our continuing mission: to explore our creativity; to seek out new styles; emerging work.... to boldly go where no student has gone before!
