Show Notes

The shortlist has been announced for the 2019 Fogarty Literary Award and Western Australian author Rebecca Higgie is on the list. In this podcast she chats to Marketing and Communications Manager Claire Miller about her manuscript The History of Mischief and what it took to create the story. This includes but is not limited to the concept of how we handle grief, mischief as a magical thing, the extensive research required for each ‘history’, and the other-worldly nature of the town of Guildford. Rebecca also reads an excerpt from her manuscript that spans nine locations, time periods and perspectives, and explores the grief of two bereaved sisters, and how they learn to deal with it in a magical way.
 
This episode of the Fremantle Press podcast is mastered and edited by Aidan d’Adhemar.
