Writers on Campus – Writing Beginnings

This month, we explore the experiences of writers starting out: learning the craft, developing ideas, experimenting with style, finding the form and voice that works for you 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 two years ago; and Louise Falconer, who recently submitted her PhD and is on the board of Writers Victoria, supporting emerging writers.
