Kel Butler and Pam Cook
Writes4Women is all about celebrating women's voices and supporting women's rights. It’s about writing the voice, reading the voice and being the voice. It's where women are invited to take up as much space as they want and we do!
Every month co-hosts Pamela Cook (the professional author) and Kel Butler (the total newbie) take the audience along with them as they write their own books. Pam's 5th and Kel's 1st.
In MENTORING MOMENTS Pam mentors Kel as she writes her book, focussing on a particular writing challenge each month and setting tasks that everyone can apply at home. ASK PAM is where Pam picks a writing challenge sent in by someone from our audience and provides advice on how to tackle it.
Then we put a SPOTLIGHT ON AN EMERGING AUTHOR. Each season W4W will follow an emerging author who has completed their novel and is now seeking publication. This season we are following Rae Cairns and each month we will talk to her about a different part of her writing process which we all hope ends in publication.
BOOK 2 BRAND is where we unpack the overwhelming world of author platforms and social media. Starting from the ground up or building on what you already have, our tips are all about time and cost efficiency because writers aren't millionaires and we don't need anymore distractions from our writing but in today's world it really is publicise yourself or get swallowed up by those who do.
THE MONTHLY GAB FEST is where we talk to a brilliant female writer who is making an impact somehow. Women writers of all formats and genres, telling very different stories, sometimes feminist, sometimes not but always fascinating and fun.
And we close with an uplifting and inspiring story of positive change from the Room to Read Girl's Program, in our RECOGNISING ROOM TO READ segment.
So join us every month as we celebrate writing as women and the female voices that have inspired generations while championing the ones writing in the fight for change today. www.writes4women.com www.facebook.com/Writes4Women/ @w4wpodcast
Pam chats with Australian commercial fiction author, Penelope Janu, about her clever new book "On the Same Page" and how she forged through the judgement of the genre to write romance books, with an edge of humour, that everybody loves. Then Pam and Kel deconstruct that very judgment. Judgement of readers, writers and genres in general. Asking the questions - what are we judging people for and why? And how does that judgement subconsciously effect us as writers? There's lots of juicy discussion on the Writes4Women podcast.

"I’m a writer, reader and weirdo from Melbourne, Australia." Is how Marlee Jane Ward describes herself on her website and she is all of those things in the most delightful way BUT Marlee isn't just any ordinary writer...as Kel fast discovers in this interview. Marlee's preferred literary world is Speculative Fiction, she is obsessed with doomsday scenarios and post apocalyptic worlds and her first 2 books "Welcome to Orphancorp" and "Psynode" were both nominated for an Aerealis Award, they were that good. It's clear that Marlee Jane Ward is an exciting new voice on the literary scene and we aren't the only ones who think so! CONTENT WARNING: Marlee is open and candid about her mental health in this interview. It may trigger some people. If you or someone you know could use some help or support please contact Lifeline on 13 11 144. #w4wpodcast #marleejaneward #specfic #speculativefiction #writing #YA #SCIFI #catastropod #women #publishing #podcasts #orphancorp SHOWNOTES: Writes4Women Web - www.writes4women.com Facebook - @writes4women Twitter / Instagram - @w4wpodcast Pamela Cook Web -www.pamelacook.com.au Facebook - @pamelacookauthor Twitter - @PamelaCookAU Kel Butler Facebook / Twitter - @kelbutler / @kelb Marlee Jane Ward Web - www.marleejaneward.com Twitter - @marleejaneward

Lynnette Lounsbury is an exciting voice breaking through the YA and Sci Fi writing scene. Her first book "Afterworld" explores death from a philosophical perspective, her second book "We Ate the Road Like Vultures" is a feminist exploration of Beatnik writing inspired by Jack Kerouac's "On the Road" and her upcoming novel tackles the complicated subject of religious fanaticism and it's deep psychological impact, something she has intimate experience with. Each book thoroughly excavates it's subject matter, allowing the reader to think as much as be entertained by the rhythm of her words. As well as writing edgy, gripping books, Lynnette is a lecturer of History and Media, is doing a PHD about colonisation and science fiction, is a mum to 2 very entrepreneurial, creative whizz kids; is married to a documentary maker and is the keeper of one very sooky dog. In short she is awesome and a great role model to other women who don't want to pretend they can do it all but give it a go anyway. #w4wpodcast #lynnettelounsbury #allen&unwin #writing #YA #SCIFI #religion #women #publishing #death #jackkerouc #beatnik #podcasts SHOWNOTES: Writes4Women Web - www.writes4women.com Facebook - @writes4women Twitter / Instagram - @w4wpodcast Pamela Cook Web - www.pamelacook.com.au Facebook - @pamelacookauthor Twitter - @PamelaCookAU Kel Butler Facebook / Twitter - @kelbutler & @listenuppodcasting Lynnette Lounsbury Web - www.lynnettelounsbury.com Twitter @linet3177 Facebook @lynnettelounsbury

WRITES4WOMEN HAS TURNED 1!???? And to celebrate we have launched into Season 3 with a meaty mentoring ep from Pam and Kel. In this ep Kel gets real about getting rejected from the Next Chapter Scheme, while Pam provides some very wise guidance for everyone on getting past the feelings rejection can toss up and getting back on the writing horse. In the Writing Round Up, Pam recaps all of the festivals they have been recording for the new Writes4Festivals podcast AND Kel switches things up a bit turning What's Cool With Women into What's Cool With Writing. Starting with poetry and some deeply moving readings from talented young writers, Meleika and Evelyn Araluen. Then they wrap things up by taking the look at an article from Room to Read on the important role of fathers and men, in getting girls educated in low income, countries. The changes are starting to happen... So grab your favourite beverage and find a comfy spot to get lost in writing with Pam and Kel on the Writes4Women podcast.
