I write a lot in a lot of places, and travel a bunch to a bunch of places. This is where to find me!
Hot takes on pro wrestling
Something I’ve really got into this year is pro wrestling – specifically, Melbourne City Wrestling. I tweet about it quite a bit, and even though my enthusiastic hot takes are deeply uninformed, the lovely gents at On The Turnbuckle had me on their podcast to chat. Listen here! Jodi on On The Turnbuckle.
Readings bestseller list
In the wake of the Melbourne Writers’ Festival, look who snuck onto the Readings Children’s and YA bestseller list at #7!
And who also slid onto the overall Readings Melbourne Writers’ Festival bestseller list at #17!
The Bachelor Australia
If you follow me on Twitter, you’ll know that I’m an endless font of opinions about the Bachelor/ette franchise. I write about this a lot in my academic life, but academic publishing is so slow that it isn’t really the right venue for all my hot takes, so I also write recaps. I’m hardly the first person to write Bachie recaps, but I promise you that mine are the most educational ones out there. 😉
You can always find my recaps over on Book Thingo, but for now, here’s links to all my recaps of Season 7 of The Bachelor Australia.
YA Lit Fest at Whitehorse Manningham Library
New event alert! On September 7, you can catch me at Whitehorse Manningham Library’s YA Lit Fest. It’ll be at Doncaster Library, and I’ll be on the paths to publishing panel with Danielle Binks, Shivaun Plozza, Lucy Hamilton and Scot Gardner. Details here.
Writers Victoria workshop
One for the Victorians! I’m running an all-day workshop for Writers Victoria on 13 October about pacing. We’ll talk about narrative milestones, suspense, emotional investment, and basically all the things you need to know to make sure your narrative doesn’t sag, drag, or lag.
If you want to come along, here’s all the info you need: details here.
