Finding Ghosts, Skipping School and Using Your Biggest Feelings - Inside Charlotte McConaghy's Writing

Finding Ghosts, Skipping School and Using Your Biggest Feelings - Inside Charlotte McConaghy's Writing

Charlotte McConaghy (Wild Dark Shore, Migrations, Once Were Wolves) is one of Australia's most acclaimed authors; known for her lush prose, fiercely emotional tone and environments so rich you feel instantly transported. And turns out, her process is every bit as wild as what it creates.

In this episode, Charlotte tells Luke all about how she practically skipped school homework after starting her first book at fourteen, how she intentionally channels her biggest emotions—from intense sadness and rage to deep fear—into her protagonists so they can fight their way toward healing, peace, and love, and how a wild research trip to a haunted island was the biggest breakthrough of her recent novel.

Don't forget to check out the Good Books Club episode discussing Charlotte's work Migrations!
