It is a great time for readers with a never ending supply of great books coming for summer. In this episode the spotlight falls on two excellent new releases. Nautilus (Simon & Schuster) by Nick Croydon and  A Suitable Man (Harper Collins) by Jock Serong.

Nick follows up his debut novel' The Turning Protocol' with another page turner, carrying on from the last big adventure. As well as being an emerging writer, Nick is CEO of QBD Books. We delve into his thoughts on all aspects of the industry.

Authorised 2026 Episode 21 Nick Croydon & Jock Serong 

Two first-time authors join me to share their pathway to publication - and they are very different literary journeys.

Andrew Upton has carved a very successful international career in theatre and film work as a writer, producer and creator, including a stint as co-artistic director of the Sydney Theatre Company with his wife Cate Blanchett. Andrew's ambition to be a novellist has been brewing for many years and he takes us through creating 'Krank Fuss' (Puncher & Wattmann) from start to finish.  

Nadine Browne has a fascinating and somewhat unique background which has had a major influence on the theme of her debut novel and the process that made it come to be. Gone Guru (Fremantle Press) is the result of a long, interesting and different trek into the world of being a writer and producing a book.
