Welcome to Kelly's Writerly Q&A, a podcast that celebrates authors and their books! I'm your host, Kelly Sgroi, writer, reader, and soccer mum.

Listen to my 24th episode where I chat to Cassie Stroud, writer, editor and book lover. Her debut novel, Iluka, just came out with HQ Books at Harper Collins Australia, and she’s an absolute beauty inside and out. 

We discuss:

  • What Iluka is about and what makes it a beauty
  • The way Cassie writes with brevity
  • Setting and POV
  • What's impacted Cassie the most during her journey to beocming an author
  • Cassie's first yes
  • Her next novel

And more!

Thank you for listening!
