The Podcast

Hello and welcome to The Writing Apothecary Podcast.

I started this podcast to help writers gain more knowledge about the writing world and how to better their novels.

I found that with my plethora of degrees I wanted to find a way to help writers learn how to better their writing with tips, tricks and hacks and everything in between when it came to writing. I want to help you get the most out of your story.

On the podcast, I have amazing interviews with aspiring authors, readers and published authors alike, in an array of different genres to give you a perspective that is different from your own.

The Podcast is set up in themes.

Each month we’ll focus on something different within the writing parameters with the opportunity to follow more. The podcasts are bite-sized with loads of fun sheets, great tidbits and how-to’s to help you out with all of your writing needs.

The month is structured into 3 theory lessons and one amazing guest interview where we chat about the topic and anything else that comes to mind. Writers veer off course all the time and you’ll be able to see just how we get back on course.

Each week there will be show notes that will all be collated down below for convenience and ease of navigation.

I’d love for you to leave me a review on your preferred choice of podcast listening app. I want to help get this podcast out to writers of all ages, all levels and most of all genders and race.

If you’ve got a topic for me to cover, send me a post-it note to: hello(at)dreamingfullyawake(dot)com If you’re looking to be a guest on the podcast, fill out the following form and I’ll get back to you in seven business days with a meetup time to see if you’d fit into our schedule.

Brisnova Author Wrap up – The Writing Apothecary Podcast

Send us a textCome inside the curtain of Supanova Brisbane – most lovingly knowns as Brisnova – and chat to the plethora of indie authors and a few traditonally published authors there. This was recorded in November 2024. My second supanova and honestly, probably the most chilled and exhausting event I've ever done. It spanned over three days from 10-6, which as a self proclaimed ADHD introvert that was a lot of masking and talking. But so well worth it. This year, I could have sworn that there were so many more authors than there was last year and we all had a ball, from seeing our names on a t-shirt, to hyping each other up, to helping people move booths mid con and having dinner all together. It was the start of something amazing and I now call some of these amazing authors close friends.Want exclusive behind the scenes and early access to episodes join up to the mailing list over here.If you're looking for a cheerleader for your writing, then head on over to https://dreamingfullyawake.com/work-with-me/ and let's have a chat about how we can work together to get your writing on track.
