'The State Library has always been the keeper of Victoria’s stories and we are committed to supporting Victorian creators in a range of ways. The Garret is a chance for us to collaborate with fellow arts and education organisations in bringing the insights of these talented storytellers to our local communities.

The Garret is a wonderful opportunity to hear from amazing authors about their creative process. We hope that this series will inspire new stories from writers at all levels, and that their work will contribute to Victoria’s thriving literary culture.'

Sharon Mullins, Communications Manager, State Library of Victoria.

'Swinburne University is passionate about helping the storytellers of tomorrow find their voice.

Whether you’re a writer, reader or lover of a good yarn, The Garret podcasts will leave you inspired!'

Carolyn Beasley, Deputy Chair, Department of Media and Communication, Swinburne University.

'Victoria’s writers have so many stories to tell. As the peak body for writers and writing, we are thrilled to support The Garret as the newest addition to our state's literary culture.

The podcast will play a new and exciting role in helping to highlight and celebrate some of the diverse and exciting literary talent in Victoria (and beyond).'
