The Garret: Writers and Publishing is a podcast for lovers of books and storytelling, hosted by Astrid Edwards.

Listen to Australia’s greatest writers and storytellers speak about their craft, including Tony Birch, Maxine Beneba Clarke, Trent Dalton, Michelle de Kretser, Richard Fidler, Richard Flanagan, Jane Harper, Anita Heiss, Ben Law, John Marsden, Dervla McTiernan, Scott Pape, Leigh Sales, Christos Tsolkas, Tara June Winch, Charlotte Wood, Alexis Wright, as well as many more.

Founded in 2017, it was dedicated to Australian writers and their craft. In 2023, it expanded focus to interview industry figures about what gets published (and why).

The podcast surpassed 610,000 downloads, and every interview is archived in AusLit, the definitive resource for Australian literary, print, and narrative cultures.

The Garret is on hold as Astrid completes her PhD investigating the environmental responsibility of the Australian book publishing industry.
