Aspiring writer Kate Fennessy's trying to write a novel, and New York Times bestselling author Helen Brown's going to help her.

Welcome to our podcast Novel Therapy, the first-time writer's clinic.

When we're not talking about cats, we'll discuss how hot to make a sex scene and if there's really such thing as writer's block.

While Kate shares the latest trends in social media, Helen will explain why it's normal for an author to gain 10kg with every book she writes.

We'll also chat about why Kate loves men's beards and Helen can't stand them. Who says Gen Ys and Baby Boomers can't get along?

It's therapy. And it's novel. It's got to be good for you.
