Regardless of where you are on your writing journey, Writer on the Road will inspire you to take your dreams and make them happen.

The Aussie Indie Podcast Launch Episode
Introducing a new direction for Writer on the Road Productions, including our Publishing and Podcast activities. Although we've always been about bringing to our listeners the latest and best Indie publishing advice - as exemplified by our Business of Writing Podcast Series, Author Success Stories Series and magazine, plus our courses and workshops - we're now doubling down on the talent in our own part of the world. Australasia has a plethora of talent in the Indie publishing space and it's our aim to form community where we encourage each other, share our knowledges and work towards supporting ourselves financially through our writing. And, one day, we even hope to have our own conference. But, first steps are small steps. You can join us in our new adventure by signing up to our newsletter here:

Customer Reviews
One of my favorite podcasts
Writer on the Road is one of the best podcasts about writing a book. I have learned a great deal about the writing process and the many helpful tips that are provided by Melinda and her awesome guests.
Not really about books
It's really all about politics. For myself, I would rather listen to a straight-up political podcast which might conceivably express both sides of any issue. I will be skipping this from now on
Love listening to Melinda's beautiful voice
Melinda is on a mission to help other writers. I especially loved her episode about "Mimi's book launch", as this information is a must know for any author planning to release a book. Thank you Melinda for your hard work in making this podcast such a success. :)
