The novel was published in two issues of the journal Plastique this year.

Angela Stalker (later Carter) went into journalism as a school leaver. She wrote for the Croydon Advertiser and other papers, and was a brilliant fashion critic . . . early in her career. Her fashion pieces were written for the influential magazine New Society, to which, for twenty years from 1967, she was a leading contributor. She persisted in expressing personal opinions till the editor gave her a byline. She had written and thrown away two novels before her first was published.

The first poem by Hester Mulso (later HMC ) to appear (later) in print was an ode, To Peace, connected with the Jacobite Rebellion.

JHC was an occasional writer of journalism, which she began in the early 1880s with two successive articles on agnosticism in The Nineteenth Century. An article on marriage reform was later published in the Westminster Review.

NC published a poem for the first time, in the Eton College Chronicle.

Karen Dinesen (later ID ), already writing tales in Danish as a student, published a piece called The Hermits in Tilskueren, a respected literary journal edited by Valdemar Vedel . She used the pseudonym Osceola.

Elizabeth Graeme (later Fergusson), still in her teens, was writing poems in a commonplace-book which is now in the library of the American Philosophical Society in Philadelphia.

EW 's first story, I Just Love Dogs, was published in the New Statesman and Nation.

The full title was Letters Written in France, in the Summer 1790, to a Friend in England; Containing various Anecdotes Relative to the French Revolution; and, Memoirs of Mons . and Madame Du F—. These twenty-six letters were serially reprinted by the European Magazine in its December 1790 issue and annual Supplement as well as in other journals. A French translation appeared in time for Williams to be formally presented with a copy, when she visited Rouen in summer 1791, by the local Société des Amis de la Constitution , which then printed their address together with her letter of thanks.

Throughout his career EW published essays and reviews. The latter include a warm and thoughtful welcome in The Spectator for Muriel Spark 's The Comforters, 1957, and he went on to provide quotable phrases of appreciation for several of Spark's later books. His journalistic writings were often a financial lifeline, and he contributed introductions to works by other people. Donat Gallagher edited a selection of his journalism under the title A Little Order in 1977, and followed it in 1984 with Evelyn Waugh: Essays, Articles and Reviews.EW 's non-fiction books included chiefly biography and travel-writing.

In 1968 the quarterly Freedomways carried AW 's story The Diary of an African Nun, whose Ugandan protagonist feels torn between her spiritual husband, Christ, and the older religion, the drumbeats, messengers of the sacred dance of life and deathlessness on earth.Julie Dash , then a graduate student in film, made a thirteen-minute, black-and-white movie of this story in 1977. Her film was much praised. She sought the author's permission only after the event, but Walker was gracious about it.

Her mother 's support led to the publication of a story by Lucy Colquhoun (later LW ) in the Sunday Magazine: The Merchant's Sermon.

MV 's storyMilly's First Love was carried by Blackwood's; in April of the same year she had published a poem, Michaelmas Daisies, in The Spectator.

For the next several years ST continued to write but did not attempt to publish. Her first paid piece of writing was the Scottish-themed story Meg of Elibank (which in her autobiography she calls Muckle Moued [big-mouthed] Meg). It appeared in November 1856 in Fraser's Magazine.

In the same year as Margaret, the Family Herald serialised her Ellaby Grange.

CT 's Letter to a New-born Child appeared in The Universal Magazine as by Miss T—; from there it was picked up for further publications.

From this time JS kept publishing poems and short stories. During her teenage years she kept diaries which she later burned. She gradually found outlets for her other work in a wide range of journals, including The Observer, The Spectator, the London Mercury, The Times, the Graphic, the Evening Standard, and Punch. Soon after her marriage she was publishing an article, poem, short story, or fable more or less every week.

HS 's first publication (under her birth name of Sarah Smith) was the short story The Lucky Leg in Charles Dickens 's Household Words.

All had previously appeared in periodicals. Somerville supplied the illustrations.

DS 's poems first began appearing in various Irish, English, and American journals, including United Ireland, Young Ireland, the Irish Monthly, the Catholic Times, the Derry Journal, The Nation, the Boston Pilot, and the Detroit Free Press.

AS began writing poetry at her first boarding school, Rogers Hall , where some of her poems appeared in the school yearbook. Her models at this stage were Sara Teasdale and Adelaide Crapsey . She gave up poetry soon after this when her mother, also a poet, accused her of plagiarism.

She dedicated it to a baronet's wife, Lady Cockburn . Since Robinson (who had not published her previous novel) had paid her thirty pounds as long ago as March 1783, it seems that this must have been the first work she composed, and that the publisher must then have sat on it for five years before issuing it. Two copies of this edition are known: at the British Library and the American Antiquarian Society . Two separate editions which followed at Philadelphia in 1793 and 1794 have survived in much more plentiful numbers. The book was excerpted in US magazines.

ER began both editing and contributing to the Oriental Observer, published in Calcutta, in 1831. For this paper (which had been launched in 1827, and which continued from 1837 as the Oriental Observer and Literary Chronicle), she covered a wide range of topics.

JP seems not to have begun writing seriously as early as her younger sister, who probably reached print before her. She helped during the 1790s to write descriptive pamphlets to accompany her brother's earliest military panoramas. Her poem Peace was published by 3 April 1795. Like Anna Maria and their brother Robert , she wrote for Thomas Frognall Dibdin 's journal The Quiz, which ran only from November 1796 to 1798 and was collected in a volume in 1797. In 1804, from July to December, an even shorter-lived periodical, The Sentinel, in its turn drew contributions from both sisters and their brother.
