Writing From Square One
Hello! Welcome to Writing From Square One: the podcast for those who want to write, but don't know where to start, with Sofia Marie and Georgia Cabelle. We talk all things that come before you get published - from finding your writing community, to motivation, holding yourself accountable and growing brave enough to share your work with others. Georgia is an historical fiction writer based in Perth, Western Australia, who recently completed her 140,000+ word first draft in 8 months. She is an Australian Writers Centre alumni and regularly attends writing groups, workshops and writing festivals. Sofia is the Coordinator of the KSP Writer's Centre in Perth Hills, where this podcast is recorded. She won NaNoWrimo in 2022, writing 50,000 words of her horror-themed novel in a single month; she is also starting her Masters in Creative Writing in 2023. This podcast is proudly supported by Katharine Susannah Prichard Writers' Centre. Find us on our Instagram profiles at @sofiamarie_writer and @georgiacabelle_author.

The Ins and Outs of Competition Judging - with Carolyn Wren!
In Episode Six, Georgia and Sofia have the privilege of talking to talented romance novellist Carolyn Wren, who has been judging KSP Writer's Centre's Spooky Stories Competition since 2016. All questions are asked about the ins and outs of short story competition judging - including how much editing a winning entry undergoes, objectivity vs subjectivity, and what story has stuck with Carolyn, all these years later. If you would like to learn all about what it takes to judge a competition, keep listening!
Carolyn has won her fair share of writing competitions herself - eight, to be exact! Find out more about her wins and her journey at her website, https://carolynwren.com.
