Show Notes

In this episode we're chatting to Maddie in the Middle author Julia Lawrinson about the complexities of female friendships. We ask her whether it's ever ok to do the wrong thing for the right reason and we listen as Julia (who holds a PhD) completely bombs-out in her pop quiz (#EpicFail). Bestselling young adult author AJ Betts (Zac & Mia, Hive, Rogue) leaves a voicemail for all you aspiring writers out there. She takes us behind the scenes to share all the ins and outs of author talks, festivals and events, covering everything from what to charge to what to wear. Your host is Fogarty Literary Award winner Rebecca Higgie whose debut book The History of Mischief just went off to the printer. Whoot whoot. Your producer is Claire Miller and your sound technician and the podcast is mastered and edited by Aidan d’Adhemar.
 
Music: ‘Letter to a Daughter of St George’, from the Meat Lunch EP: Songs from Floaters. Written by Alan Fyfe. Performed by Trevor Bentley (guitar and vocals – @trevormb) and Chris Parkinson (harmonica). Produced by Blake Carnaby of Nuglife studios with impresario work by Benjamin P. Newton.
