Kate (finally!) has some book news! Her new novel THE HUMMINGBIRD EFFECT will be out in Australia on Aug 2! Stay tuned for (lots!) more info over the coming months, but she just couldn’t hold on to the news any longer.
Kate and Katherine also respond to a listener question about defining the different stages of the editing process.
Our featured book segment is brought to you by Affirm Press and we are delighted to be talking to Pip Williams about her second novel, THE BOOKBINDER OF JERICHO.
Pip Williams was born in London, grew up in Sydney, and now lives in the Adelaide Hills of South Australia with her family and an assortment of animals. She has spent most of her working life as a social researcher, studying what keeps us well and what helps us thrive. She is the author of the memoir One Italian Summer, published by Affirm Press to wide acclaim. Her first novel, The Dictionary of Lost Words was published in 2020 and became an international bestseller.
Pip’s advice: Set low expectations. Make a goal of just one word a day.
Pip recommends:
- The Song of Achilles – Madeline Miller
- Orphia and Eurydicius – Elyse John
Pip Williams will be in conversation with Kate Mildenhall for Readings at Cinema Nova in Melbourne on April 5. Bookings here.
