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!
The Exophonic Writer Podcast
4- Are you an exophonic reader? - Read more to write better! :)
To write exophonically, first you need to read lots in the language you're seeking to write in.
In this episode I talk about:
-How I wasn't a reader growing up and became one only recently.
-Changing schools mid-first grade and having to quickly adapt to cursive (when all I new was printed letters).
-The first book I ever read on my own and liked:
Dailan Kifki by María Elena Walsh
✨ https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/311950.Dailan_Kifki
-How I used to think I needed to read all the classics to "earn" the right to read modern authors. 🤦♀️
-Some of my favourite books:
Fiction:
- Neil Gaiman - everything he does!
- Alissa Nutting - Tampa
- Madeleine Ryan - A Room Called Earth
- Sarah Crossan - One (she writes novels in verse!)
Non- fiction:
- James Clear - Atomic Habits
- Mark Mason - The subtle art of not giving a f*ck
- Natalie Goldberg - Writing down the bones
All this and more. Listen on :D
