When I recorded this weeks interview with freelance writer Bri Lee, she had a lotgoing on. She'd just quit her stable law job to become a freelance writer, and in the two months prior had won a fellowship, scored a literary agent, and was in the middle of shopping around her first manuscript to a small pile of publishing houses. I had no damn idea how one goes about selling their first book, but Bri was kind enough to sit down with me and school me on the ins and outs of book advances, asking naive questions, and leveraging interest in your work.

Starving Artist is a podcast about art, money, and how to combine those things. If you’re a creative who’s ever wondered “how the hell do I make this work?!” then this podcast is for you. The show is basically an excuse for host and honesty enthusiast Honor Eastly to ask successful artists really nosy questions about their financial situation, and record the conversation.

This is a no-holds-barred exploration of the reality behind the Starving Artist myth, and season one features 12 interviews with some of Australia's most incisive young artists including Frances Cannon, Becky Sui Zhen, Abbey Rich, Wendy Syfret (i-D / VICE) and Steve Roggenbuck. The podcast takes us behind the curtain and into the machine room of contemporary artists, taking on everything from how to make a living from Instagram, how to negotiate a raise in the arts, to how to get out of your private freelancer tax shame.
