‘So you want to be a writer’ celebrates 300 eps – and YOU can WIN!

Our top-rating podcast, So you want to be a writer, is celebrating 300 episodes this week and we have a Great Big Book Pack to give away as a party favour! This MASSIVE 30-book prize contains a great selection of contemporary fiction, children's books, crime and thrillers, memoirs and much more. One lucky winner will score the lot.

But to win, we’d like you to tell us a little bit about yourself.

Namely, to answer this question in the most creative way that you know how: What’s the #1 thing you’ve learnt from listening to the So you want to be a writer podcast with Valerie Khoo and Allison Tait?

Is it one of Val’s words of the week, Al’s ‘fair to middling’ approach to life, have you discovered banoffee pie, did you find your new favourite author, or is there a writing tip that’s changed your life?

Something else? Tell us! We really want to know.

To enter, you can either:

• upload a blog post
• craft a tweet
• write a Facebook post
• shoot a video 
• create an image
• [insert your own brilliant idea] 

and SHARE it to your favourite social media platform – Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter using the hashtag #valandal300.

Al is looking for her favourite entry to WIN ALL THE BOOKS, so remember to make sure your post is PUBLIC, or she won’t see it. 

If you want to make doubly sure she won’t miss your creative stylings, tag her at:

As well as @WritersCentreAU 

ONE WEEK ONLY. Competition closes 6am Tuesday 8 October 2019 (Sydney/Melbourne time).
