Making It as a Local Author

She turned Raglan into a novel, and a creative path into a real career. In this episode of How to Make It Work, I sit down with local author Sarah Johnson to talk about her new young adult novel Not A Babe, set right here in Whāingaroa.

From juggling family life and late night shifts to the power of community through the writer's collective Raglan Inkspillers: This conversation is an honest look at what it really means to make it work as an author.
