Show Notes

With the 2019 Fogarty Literary Award announcement looming, we thought it’d be a good idea to bring in one of our shortlisted authors, Emma Young, for a chat about her manuscript The Last Bookshop. In the podcast, Emma talks to Marketing and Communications Manager Claire Miller about the inspiration behind her story and in particular the character of Kate who owns the last bookshop in Perth. She discusses bookshop crazies and how a story in The Monthly helped shaped Kate’s personality. In the excerpt she reads, Kate visits an older book client who challenges and inspires her to tackle the challenges of the new world head on.
