The guest this month is Sofie Laguna. Sofie is the author of 20 books including the Miles Franklin winning novel 'Eye of the Sheep.' We talk about walking, writing, the jobs we take to make ends meet and the parallels between writing for children and writing for adults.

The guest is C.K. (Karl) Stead. He's a man with an inimitable control of language and a catalogue as varied as it is deep. We talk a lot about poetry and the benefit of reading poetry. We also talk about ways to grow as a writer and where to draw inspiration.

Justine Larbalestier is the guest. She has written a number of books including Razor Hurst and My Sister Rosa. Justine splits her time between Sydney and New York. She defends Romance novels, and rightly so, she also wants you to spend more time drinking with your writer friends.

Ben Law is the guest. He has written books, for TV and many articles for a range of publications. Ben's also a prominent member of both the LGBT community and the Asian community in Australia. Oh AND he has a PhD.

We speak with Emily Macguire, author of An Isolated Incident as well as a number of other books. Emily is also a writing tutor and mentor.

Dorthe Nors is the author of a number of books including Karate Chop and So Much For That Winter. Dorthe talks about identity, translation, being published in the New Yorker and more importantly, she helps to write my wedding speech.
