Writing about grief and loss with Natasha Sholl

Season #2 Episode #21

In this week’s episode we’re talking about how to write a book about heartbreak and grief plus we’re covering a number of things – like what it looks like to approach your story.

Join me as I talk with Natasha, a writer and lapsed lawyer based in Melbourne, Australia. 

Her work has featured in The Guardian, The Age, Sydney Morning Herald, Good Weekend, SBS Voices, Kill Your Darlings, Mamamia and elsewhere. 

Her first book, FOUND, WANTING, was published by Ultimo Press in February this year. 

On Valentine’s Day after a night of red wine and pasta and planning for their future, Natasha and her partner Rob went to bed.  A few hours later, at the age of 27, his heart stopped. 

The memoir tells the story of Natasha’s attempt to rebuild her life in the wake of Rob’s sudden death.
