Hayley Scrivenor, Zaheda Ghani and Nick Bhasin discuss the expectations and realities of first-time publication, and how their lives and careers have changed.

First Friday, our monthly conversation with an industry professional, is a chance for our community to learn more about the writing and publishing industry. This October, we invite you to our online event with John Morrissey, judge for the 2024 Boundless Mentorship for Indigenous Writers.

Join four women writers of colour as they discuss challenging the white male-dominated field and share what the Australian landscape means to them and how they explore it in their writing.
