In this first episode of Talk Wordy To Me, I’m talking wordy with bestselling author Christian White. Christian burst onto the scene in 2017 with his debut novel The Nowhere Child, which became Australia’s bestselling debut novel ever! Crazy huh? He’s also the author of the Wife and The Widow and his most recent book which we’re going to dive into today, Wild Place. 

Christian’s accolades don’t stop there though he also co-wrote the hit Netflix mini series Clickbait, which was released by Netflix in August 2021 and went straight to #1 in 41 countries.

We discuss:

• Starting your writing career in your mid thirties.

• Why you might like to consider entering writing competitions if you’re an aspiring writer, I know I’m considering it.
