Online Q&A Series: How to Keep Writing When It Gets Hard
Live on Zoom – Saturday 5 July 2025 @ 10:30AM (AEST)
Writing a book is exciting… until it isn’t. This session is for anyone stuck in the middle, second-guessing their story, or wondering how other writers keep going. We’ll talk burnout, motivation, and the messy middle — with space for questions, real talk, and honest strategies that actually work.
🎥 Recordings available to registrants.

Online Q&A Series: Should I Self-Publish? (And What That Really Means)

Thinking about self-publishing but not sure where to start — or what’s involved? This session breaks down the pros, cons, costs, and common myths of indie publishing, from someone who’s done it (and also gone traditional). No hype, just the stuff you need to know before diving in.
