The Final Draft podcast is all about books, writing and literary culture. We're dedicated to exploring Australian writing, looking into the issues that drive our storytelling to discover more from the books you love.

These are the stories that make us who we are.

Samuel Wagan Watson is a poet of Munanjali, Birri Gubba, German, Dutch and Irish descent. He’s won the 1999 David Unaipon Award for Emerging Indigenous Literature, and The Kenneth Slessor Poetry Prize amongst others.

Paul Collis is a Barkindji man, born in Bourke in far western NSW on the Darling River. Dancing Home is his first novel and won the David Unaipon Award in 2016.

The First Nations Classics series  from UQP ranges across genres, including memoir, fiction, non-fiction and poetry. The series is inspired by the richness and cultural importance of First Nations writing, and aims to bring new readers and renewed attention to brilliant, timeless books that are as relevant today as they were on first publication.

Final Draft is produced and presented by Andrew Pople
