Why Write?
WHY WRITE is a super short podcast that asks one writer one question: why write? Of all the things they could do and ways they could spend their time, why sit in front of that blank page for hours, days, months or years? Noè Harsel, herself a writer, spends time with different types of writers each week to find out why they do it; why they write! To reach out and for show notes, please contact us on whywrite.com.au This podcast is supported by Writers Victoria, peak body for writers in Victoria, Australia. For information on how Writers Victoria can support you, please see writersvictoria.org.au
