The Final Draft Great Conversations 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.

Lauren Draper is a writer and marketing professional from Melbourne, her writing has appeared in publications such as Kill Your Darlings and Dumbo Feather.

Lauren joins Andrew on the show with her debut young adult novel, The Museum of Broken Things.

Reece is in limbo, and as far as it goes there are worse places to be stuck than the beachside town of Hamilton. But it’s not just the place Reece is stuck in her memories. Memories of The Terrible Thing Happened and the way it has basically put her life on hold.

Maybe she can ride out the last year of school, but fate and a resident shark named Bruce are determined to throw her in the way of Gideon and there’s a whole other set of secrets.

Join me as we discover Lauren Draper’s The Museum of Broken Things...

Final Draft is produced and presented by Andrew Pople
