Show Notes

Our Business of Being a Writer seminar, which involved 300 new and emerging authors gathering in a room without air conditioning, feels like two lifetimes ago. Craig Silvey dubbed it the ‘sauna of knowledge’ and, in this mid-pandemic world, the idea of running another feels frankly illicit. We can, however, bring you the broadcast version online. This panel with Craig Silvey and Alan Carter delved into the world of contracts, rights and copyright for authors. It is one of four 2020 Business of Being a Writer podcasts that we’ll be releasing over the coming months. We hope these will provide a forum for new and emerging writers to learn from their peers during this period of self-isolation. The track was recorded live from the Business of Being a Writer at Perth Festival's Writers Weekend. That means you'll even get details of where to find a toilets at UWA's Winthrop Hall. If you want to miss that part, feel free to opt into the recording at around five and a half minutes in!
