This morning's walkoffee brought to me by @thefirsttimepod with Chris Tsiolkas and The Settlement by @JockSerong
The First Time Podcast retweeted
Such a powerful conversation! To quote Molly Meldrum 'do yourself a favour' and listen to this one!
'The days i'm working on the book are work days; you've got to see it for yourself as work, treat it as your work.
It's in the work itself that you learn how to write.'
Christos Tsiolkas in this week's DOUBLE EP convo.

How to pitch me at The Big Issue! A thread!
First of all, reviews are short, 170 words, $50. Features are 800-850 and $200. These are for a general audience - not too literary or academic but I still want genuine critical engagement with a text's themes/styles, etc
