The Exophonic Writer Podcast
Hi, I'm Zoe! I'm a Visual Linguist and Exophonic Writer based in Melbourne, Australia. Join me each episode while I podcast my quest to become a published author.
Some topics that will show up in the podcast are:
-Languages and Linguistics (especially about Spanish and English).
-The struggles of writing in your second language.
-Literature (genres and styles that have grabbed my attention)
-Writing techniques, rituals and routines.
-Seeking publication.
-Curation of resources: books, blogs, podcasts, films, websites, apps, talks and more (because in the era of information excess, curation is such a valuable gift).
If that sounds like what you need to hear right now, press play and embark with me in an exophonic creative journey!
