The Final Draft 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.

Tegan Bennett Daylight is a writer, teacher and critic. Her books include The Details and Six Bedrooms which was shortlisted for the Stella Prize. Tegan’s latest is Royals.

5.17pm on a day much like any other, in a shopping center in Western Sydney six teenagers find themselves alone. 

Shannon only glanced from her phone for a second, then when she looked back down her phone was frozen and the world had gone quiet. Surprise, then annoyance forces Shannon out into the mall’s concourse which is eerily still.

Fear then curiosity lead her to explore the mall where she finds Tiannah, Grace, James, Akira and Jordan; equally alone and equally confused. What has happened to the world and are they truly as alone as they believe?

Final Draft is produced and presented by Andrew Pople
