Esther Campion’s The Writing Class

Final Draft - Great Conversations

The Final Draft podcast is all about books, writing and literary culture. We're dedicated to exploring Australian writing, looking into the issues that drive our storytelling to discover more from the books you love.

These are the stories that make us who we are.

Esther hails from Cork, Ireland and lives in the North West of Tasmania. Esther is the author of Leaving Ocean Road and The House of Second Chances. She’s joining us today with her new novel The Writing Class.

We’d all like to believe we’re the authors of our own story, but when Vivian’s husband Dave abandons her, she learns the hard way there are some twists she wouldn’t have plotted for herself.

Back home in Tasmania, Vivian is at a loss for what to do with herself until a chance encounter sees her teaching a writing class. Amidst the diverse students Vivian learns discovers new things about herself, and about the power of raising up your voice when you have something to say.

Final Draft is produced and presented by Andrew Pople
