Writers on Campus: Start writing
This month, we explore the experiences and possibilities of writers starting out: learning the craft, developing ideas, experimenting with style, finding the form and voice that works for you, refining your skills, drafting and redrafting, and taking the first steps towards publication.
To help us explore the opportunities and challenges, author and creative writing lecturer Catherine Padmore talks with two of La Trobe’s postgraduate researchers and writers: Tara Calaby, whose debut novel was part of her PhD project and published to acclaim two years ago; and Louise Falconer, who recently submitted her PhD and passed with flying colours, and is on the board of Writers Victoria, supporting emerging writers. All three speakers have had great success in publishing short fiction and nonfiction in a range of media and genres, and taking different paths to creating a writing life.
