Katherine Collette is a novelist, podcaster and engineer living in Melbourne. Her debut novel, The Helpline, was published in the US, UK, Germany and Italy. Her second novel The Competition was published in February 2022. She also co-hosts the writing podcast The First Time.

Our interview begins at 00:12:20

P.S listen out for who next week's guest is!

Caitlin recommends: Blood Moon by Lucy Cuthew

An emotional and moving YA verse novel about cyberbullying and periods.

Michelle recommends: The No-Show by Beth O'Leary

A brilliant, fun and heartfelt contemporary novel about three women and the man who stood them up. (We've previously interviewed Beth, listen to that here)

In this interview, we chat about:

  • The joy (and curiosity) of Toastmasters and how this inspired the novel
  • Katherine's experience with the club and visiting the international Toastmasters conference
  • Wrangling the book's structure and choosing the perspectives to write from (there's a lot of killing your darlings here!)
  • Katherine's co-hosted podcast, The First Time
  • The mystery of publishing a book
  • The surprises of publishing for the second time
  • Katherine's work in engineering and the combination of working in both industries
  • How Katherine wrote her first book in between work and parenting

Books and other things mentioned:
