David Hill has been a full time writer now for over thirty years. However, like many writers he began writing on-the-side while working as a secondary school teacher. Hear how he built and sustained a career in this episode of the NZSA Oral History Podcast.

In our last episode, author Tessa Duder talked about her journey through journalism and motherhood and how those roles influenced her development as an author. Along the way Tessa has dedicated herself to issues of authors rights, both as an advocate and in her writing projects. What motivated her in this work is the focus of Part 2 of her 2015 interview with Deborah Shepard.
