The Craft of Short Story Writing: Fiona Robertson with Guest Host Joanna Nell

Best-selling author and doctor Joanna Nell, author of four novels published by Hachette, chats to award winning short story writer and doctor Fiona Robertson about the craft of short story writing.

Brisbane based writer Fiona Robertson's debut release, a short story collection titled If You Are Happy, was published in 2022 by University of Queensland Press to greater acclaim. The collection won the Glendower Award in the 202o Queensland Literary Awards, was shortlisted for the Steele Rudd Award in the 2022 Queensland Literary Awards as well as the 2018 Richell Prize. Fiona's short fiction has been published in numerous literary magazines and anthologies and shortlisted for international competitions. 

Joanna's debut was The Single Ladies of Jacaranda Retirement Village, published in 2018, and her latest release is The Tea Ladies of St.Jude's Hospital. 

This is a fascinating chat between two extremely accomplished writers which also touches on their dual careers as doctors.
