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!

19 - Identity (or Are the Literary Voices of Exophonic Writers Compromised by Cultural Expectations?)
Welcome, exophonic friends!
It's almost impossible to talk about exophony without talking about Identity, since it's such a fundamental pillar for this practice.
Matters of Identity emerge during the phase of choosing to become an exophonic writer as well as during the phase after one has already been writing in a second language for a while (well, duh, matters of identity govern almost everything we do, don't they?)
In this episode, I'm posing a lot of questions about the expectations surrounding identity and literary voice of exophonic writers and even though they are questions I don't necessarily know the answer to, I think they are important questions to start asking.
