Description

In this episode of the Unbound Writer’s Club, Nicola shares the Unbound Womxn author discussion that took place recently. This quarter, the focus is on mother: mothering, mother energy, and in particular how that relates to our books and birthing them into the world. Nicola’s joined by four magical unbound writers – Emma While, Sarah Lloyd, Debra Kilby and Alison Shaloe – who share their wisdom, experiences and advice.

In this Episode:

• Preconceived ideas around birthing a book
• Unbinding yourself from rigid expectations 
• Having both mother energy and power
• Co-creation: being nurtured and supported
• Honouring the rites of passage of writing a book
• Having a community around you is absolutely key
• Alison Gopnik’s the Gardener and the Carpenter
• Normalising the mixed emotions around releasing your book
• Creating the right conditions for your book to thrive
