Non-fiction archives on The Garret Podcast

The Garret is a podcast celebrating the best writers writing today.These writers represent many genres. The common thread is success: these writers are the top of their fields.

This is not a podcast about individual books or to promote a writer’s latest book. It is a series exploring how the best of the best start, draft, complete and market their writing.

Season 1 launched on 3 November 2016 and featured eight Victorian-based writers talking about their craft. The season was shortlisted for the inaugural Cast Away Australian Podcast Awards in early 2017. Season 2 launched on 2 March 2017 and features leading writers from across Australia. Season 3 will include international writers, and will be released on 1 June 2017.

Every episode is published alongside show notes and transcripts to increase educational value and access.

The Garret was born in Melbourne, a UNESCO City of Literature. And it is supported by our community. We are proud to partner with the State Library of Victoria, Readings, Writers Victoria and Swinburne University.
