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.

Embodying Unrelatable Characters, From the Mind of an Actor - with Trent Foo!
In the second episode of season 2 of WFSO, Georgia and Sofia welcome uber-special guest Trent Foo, a Perth (Boorloo)-born actor/producer based in Sydney (Warrane), to discuss character. How do you write characters you can't relate to? Who have been through things you couldn't dream of? How does someone like Trent, who embodies and interprets characters for a living, get over personal bias to be the best actor he can? Trent shares with us some tips and tricks of how he creates - and writes! - his most complex characters, and the girls take away some powerful messages, and methods to use in their own writing. We hope you find it useful, too!
