Victoria Brookman's debut novel, Burnt Out was published by Harper Collins in March 2022. It's about a writer called Calida who loses everything in a bushfire right after her husband has left her. And she really hits rock bottom. After a very public rant that goes viral, her life changes dramatically.

Victoria is an author, activist and academic and lives in the Blue Mountains. Her resume as a political staffer and founder of feminist organisations speaks to her passion for women's and human rights. Victoria studied English and creative writing and is currently completing a doctorate and working on her second (and third) novel.

In this episode Pam chats to Victoria about how she found the whole debut fiction experience, the whole process of putting yourself out there, along with the craft, heart and business of writing. It's a fascinating chat about the writing life.

So grab a cup and join Victoria and Pam on the Writes4Women Convo Couch
