Meredith Jaffé: The Dressmakers of Yarrandarrah Prison
Welcome to the April New Release Feature Author episode featuring Meredith Jaffé.
Meredith Jaffé is the author of three novels for adults The Fence (2016.), The Making of Christina (2017) and The Dressmakers of Yarrandarrah Prison (May 2021). Horse Warrior, the first in a children’s series, was published in 2019. She also contributed a short story, Emergency Undies, to the 2019 Funny Bones anthology.
She is the Festival Director of StoryFest, held on the NSW South Coast, and regularly facilitates at other writers’ festivals and author events. Previously, she wrote the weekly literary column for the online women’s magazine The Hoopla. Her feature articles, reviews, and opinion pieces have also appeared in The Guardian Australia, The Huffington Post, and Mamamia.
Meredith became a writer via the scenic route, which I’ll be asking her about today. Her new novel The Dressmakers of Yarrandarrah prison is a funny, dark and moving novel about finding humanity, friendship and redemption in unexpected places and Meredith is here to tell us all about it as our new release feature author for April.
