The podcast that shares the writerly convos that writers have when no one is listening (even if they *are* listening) - looking to demystify the writerly process, share the inner thoughts that don't always align with the outer successes and as much inspo as possible without worrying about sticking to script or filtering for trending content. We aim to deliver REAL writerly convos in about 45 minutes, so you can feel inspired to keep going on your own writerly path!

Talking to Emma Grey & Katherine Berney about Pictures of You

This week's talk is so important - not just for readers and writers, but for all of us, our friends, family, sisters, daughters, mums, neighbours...

Emma and Kat get into why bringing serious topics into pop culture is so vital, how the messaging is an important aspect of changing culture and what we might do if we recognise ourselves or our loved ones in the dynamic that is shared so truthfully in Emma's latest novel, Pictures of You!!

A review from IG (@karin.heartwell) of the book:

Pictures of You is the latest book by Canberra author @emmagreyauthor and it is a must-read.

Emma has tackled and mastered the topic of coercive control and emotional abuse in relationships while also giving readers hope that healthy relationships are possible, not just toxic ones.

It is a difficult read for me as it is a bit too close to home, having escaped a toxic relationship full of domestic violence. I have yet to experience a healthy relationship and while that seems way out of reach at times, Emma's writing gives me (and others, too) hope.

We must talk about abuse, every day, especially to boys growing up right now.

Things are changing but only so slowly.

More than 80 women have been killed in Australia this year alone due to domestic violence.

Men are still in positions of power where they get to abuse, hate and kill us and apparently, no one ever saw it coming because he has always been 'such a good bloke’.

Enough with this truth avoidance!

We must bring on change, in big and small ways. One way is to read Emma's book and talk about it with the boys and men in your life.

Books have always had the power to change the world for the better, and Pictures of You is no different.

Thank you, Emma, for this book.
