My name is Gregory Victor Babic (although most people just call me Greg Babic) and I am a Writer. I live in Sydney, Australia (“G’day from Downunder!”), am a graduate of Sydney Boys High School (Higher School Certificate, 1981), the University of Sydney (Bachelor of Arts, 1990) and the University of New South Wales (Graduate Diploma in Secondary Education – English and History Method, 1992), and was a targeted graduate first employed by the NSW Department of Education and Training in 1993 (when I earned my Teacher’s Certificate). I have taught English, History, General Studies, and Retail Operations in numerous public sector secondary schools in the greater Sydney metropolitan area.
My third book, a brand new motivational compilation for Writers (1,100 Quotations from over 300 Authors!), titled Words to Inspire Writers: A perpetual Calendar of classic Writing-related Quotations – on Writers, Writing, Words, Books, Literature, and Publishing – specifically selected to illustrate the Writing Process and to motivate Authors every day (ISBN 978-0-980372-20-5), has just been published by F. C. Sach & Sons, Publishers (http://fcsachandsonspublishers.com) and is now available for purchase from Amazon.com (or through major booksellers via Ingram Book Group).
Previously, convinced that students of all ages could achieve whatever they set their minds to, with the right guidance and encouragement, I wrote Study Success Know-How: A 1,001-Point Action Checklist Designed To Help You Take Control Of Your Learning And Maximise Your Achievement Potential – Immediately! (2nd Edition currently available from Five Senses Education, ISBN 1-876932-19-8). Film Study Terms: A glossary of key concepts related to the study of Film followed (also from Five Senses Education, ISBN 1-876932-97-X), allowing any student of Film to better understand the language of Film Study.
I am an Award-winning short story writer and the author of numerous articles and columns published in trade and consumer magazines, currently putting together my first short fiction collection. I hope Words to Inspire Writers will make writers everywhere understand they follow a long and rich literary tradition.
