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.

Jenna Lo Bianco is a writer, teacher and Italophile. Her debut novel The Italian Marriage came out in 2023 with Pan Macmillan, part of a three book deal. Today Jenna joins us with her latest; Love & Rome.

When Stella Chiaro left Australia for the Eternal City, Rome it was always going to be all or nothing. Stella escaped a toxic relationship determined to never let anyone diminish her light again.

Now Stella’s on a deadline. Find a job in the arts by April 2nd or its back home to Australia.

She’s firm. Nothing can dissuade her. Especially not a handsome bar owner, and definitely not a brooding photographer…

Final Draft is produced and presented by Andrew Pople
