Talking Writing is a vibrant and new conversation about writing. As a digital-only publication it collects the best pieces from the NSW Writers' Centre magazine, Newswrite, a trusted and much loved resource for writers.

We decided very early on when building this ebook that we wanted to have a very wordy title to feature as many genres as possible.

Still, the schtick works fine most of the time, underscored by hand-lettered aphorisms between chapters.
