This week I have a fabulous chat with Pamela Cook. Pam forged her way onto the Australian literary scene with loved her rural fiction novels and now writes heartfelt women's fiction novels tackling every day issues such as relationships, friendship, grief and belonging.

I chat with Pam about how she got her start in writing, the ups and downs of publishing, resilience as a writer and the realities all authors need to be aware of. We discuss the importance of setting in stories and how getting deep into POV can elevate your writing.

Pam, as always is super generous with her wisdom and knowledge. You'll want to take notes on this one!

You can find out more about Pamela, her books, and her workshops and events at https://www.pamelacook.com.au/ and follow Pam on instagram https://www.instagram.com/pamelacookwrites/
