She has been an integral part in helping me make Do the Thing all that I want it to be for you. I have 3 weeks until my manuscript deadline, and I'm right on time! In this episode, you'll hear how we worked together, and some of the challenges I came across in my writing. Hannah and I crossed paths many times over the years, as she was previously at Simon & Schuster and Hachette, where many of my clients have published. Now, Hannah is out on her own and eager to shed light on how editors can support authors in diverse ways. Hannah is an absolute stand-out talent at what she does, and she's breaking down all the ways an outside editor/collaborator (someone beyond your Publisher's editor) can enhance your writing experience and the final product. Don't miss it!

As former Chairman and CEO of Hachette, Arnaud offers a candid look inside a major international publisher. Under his leadership, Hachette grew from a French-centric company to a global player, publishing authors like Barack Obama, Stephanie Meyer, Malcolm Gladwell, James Patterson, and Rick Riordan. His new venture, Les Nouveaux Éditeurs, is a nimble and editor-driven reimagining of book publishing.

To Australia he was a genius adman and best-selling author but behind closed doors Bryce Courtenay was a deeply flawed husband and father. His son, Adam, has tried to make sense of the lies, the ego and the heartbreak.When Adam Courtenay was growing up, he saw his dad Bryce as a hero.Bryce worked in advertising so he knew all the latest, coolest trends, and at bedtime, Bryce told Adam and his brothers amazing stories about his life in South Africa and the Courtenay family's noble origins.When Bryce went from adman to wildly successful writer with his debut novel, The Power of One, Adam couldn't have been prouder.As Adam grew older, he became aware of the gaps in the stories his father told so well, and realised just how many lies Bryce had told his family and the nation.At first, Adam tried to ignore the fables and fibs - he wanted badly to believe them because they made Bryce's storytelling so powerful.But when Adam became a writer himself, an author of historical books and a journalist, he needed to champion the truth above all else.Further informationMy Father Bryce is published by Hachette.This episode of Conversations explores novels, writing, advertising, Australiana, Australian books, memoir, father son relationships, big egos, Australian voices, Tandia, The Night Country, Whitethorn, The Potato Factory, Tommo & Hawk, Solomon's Song, Nick Duncan Saga, The Persimmon Tree, Fishing for Stars, The Milky Bar Kid, knowing your parents, marriage, fatherhood, journalism, betrayal, cancer, divorce, affairs, infidelity, public personas, modern history, literature.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

In 2017, journalist Nick McKenzie heard rumours of executions and cover-ups inside Australia's most elite military unit. For the next eight years, Nick waged an epic battle for the truth to be acknowledged about Ben Roberts-Smith VC.Along with his colleague Chris Masters, Nick began an investigation which hinged on Australia's most famous, and most decorated living soldier, Ben Roberts-Smith, who served in the Special Air Service Regiment (SAS) from 2003 - 2013.By following the story, they were plunged into the defamation trial of the century.His fight examined evidence of bullying, intimidation, war crimes and murder, and took him across Australia and to Afghanistan.As he unearthed secrets Ben Roberts-Smith had thought he'd long ago buried, Nick had to deal with death threats, and powerful forces intent on destroying his career.He also witnessed attempts to silence brave SAS soldiers, who had witnessed their famous comrade commit unspeakable acts.For years Nick waged an epic battle for the truth to be acknowledged.Earlier this year, Ben Roberts-Smith lost an appeal against a defamation judgement, which found he committed war crimes.Further informationCrossing the Line is published by Hachette.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris.

 'You need to kind of kick off this persuasive chain reaction and enlist people to the cause of your book.' In the book trade, James Spackman is known as 'The Pitch Doctor'. From an illustrious start to his career in the post room at Bloomsbury to sales, marketing and agency roles at Hachette, Osprey and now The bks Agency, his passion has always been to communicate a passion for books.  As he explains, the success of a book depends in large part of a 'chain of enthusiasm' that has to begin with the author and ultimately - hopefully - reaches the reader through a complex ecosystem of agents, editors, sales reps, marketers and booksellers. This is the art of the pitch, and because it ends with the reader, that's where the crafting of it must begin too.  In this week's conversation we discuss the fact that publishing is 'a business of persuasion rather than a meritocracy of texts', and what that means for authors. We also talk about the extraordinary route that James took to publish his own book, why measures of success are deeply personal, and why doing things your way is so damn rewarding. 

On parle souvent des cahiers de vacances… mais aujourd'hui, c'est d'un tout autre type de cahier dont il est question.Parce qu'à l'adolescence, l'orientation peut vite devenir une source de stress : trop d'infos, pas assez de repères, et cette fameuse question qu'on pose à répétition “Tu veux faire quoi plus tard ?” sans savoir comment y répondre. Et si, pour une fois, on prenait le temps d'explorer ce sujet avec méthode, bienveillance… et les bons outils ?C'est ce que proposent les éditions Hachette avec les cahiers “Objectif Orientation”, conçus pour les jeunes de la 3e à la Terminale.Pour en parler, j'ai le plaisir d'échanger avec l'une des coachs qui a participé à leur rédaction. Elle va nous partager ses conseils pour accompagner au mieux votre ado vers la bonne voie.

Roberta Poggio"Onora il figlio"Arkadia Editorewww.arkadiaeditore.itUna saga famigliare che si snoda nel paese immaginario di Follero, in un intreccio di personalità, azioni e vicissitudini che ruotano intorno a una presunta e antica maledizioneFollero, paesino immaginario a vocazione rurale. Gli abitanti del luogo si trovano a deliberare sulla demolizione della chiesa principale. Da qui si dipanano le vicende che vedranno i protagonisti catapultati – forse a causa di una lontana maledizione – da un ambiente contadino al contesto della grande città. Due donne senza un apparente legame, entrambe Caterina ed entrambe Rambaldi, muoiono lo stesso giorno in città diverse. Nel medesimo istante Pietro, giovane destinato a una brillante carriera politica, entra in carcere. Ripercorrendo a ritroso le tappe che hanno portato a questi luttuosi destini, conosciamo a Roma la prima Caterina, giornalista affermata che viene travolta da uno scandalo e madre coraggiosa di un sedicenne con gravi problemi psichici. E a Genova la seconda Caterina, ragazza fragile che passa da un lavoretto all'altro nel tentativo di non soccombere alle problematiche famigliari. Conosciamo i loro genitori, le comuni origini a Follero. È qui che, nel 1969, l'agguerrita Beatrice e i fratelli Antonio e Francesco Rambaldi convincono i paesani a demolire l'antica chiesa di Santa Croce. Pagano caro il successo: per superstizione o per giochi di potere, i folleresi finiscono per esiliarli. Ma dietro tutto questo alberga forse un antico anatema scagliato contro alcune famiglie del paese in un passato oscuro e oramai dimenticato che, pian piano, emergerà fino all'epilogo finale.Roberta PoggioNasce a Genova nel 1974 e oggi vive a Torino. Frequenta il Liceo Classico e la Facoltà di Lettere Antiche, studia sceneggiatura alla SDAC di Genova e regia alla NUCT di Roma. Partecipa come sceneggiatrice alla realizzazione di diversi cortometraggi (tra cui il pluripremiato Il vampiro, per la regia di Marco Speroni e interpretato da Andrea Bruschi). Dal 2000 ha lavorato come traduttrice, adattatrice di dialoghi per il doppiaggio (RAI, Mediaset, BBC Knowledge e altre reti) e redattrice di testi per pubblicazioni a fascicoli (Fabbri, Hachette, De Agostini). Si è occupata inoltre di fumetti, in particolare dell'edizione italiana di molti manga giapponesi, e scrive testi per blog e per app. Nel 2022 frequenta il Laboratorio annuale della Bottega di narrazione. Il suo racconto Don Giuseppe è pubblicato sull'Almanacco Guanda. Il suo (Ma) poi la sera è pubblicato nell'antologia L'olmo e i suoi racconti (2023) curata da Marino Magliani e Dario Voltolini; altre antologie ospitano suoi racconti.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Danny Rensch grew up in the Church of Immortal Consciousness, a cult he usually refers to as ‘the Collective'. Started by Steven and Trina Kamp, the group followed the teachings of a Dr Pahlvon Duran, whose spirit first visited Trina when she was 9. In trances, she would convey the teachings of Dr Duran, whose last lifetime was lived as an Englishman in the 15th century. The group lived communally dispersed across basic housing in Tonto Village, Arizona.The Collective's small charter school, the Shelby School, became renowned for the performance of its chess team, and Danny Rensch was its star performer. By 14 he was a US Chess Federation national master, which was an Arizona state record at that age, and at 19 he was ranked first in the United States for his age, when he also achieved his first international master norm. Today he is the Chief Chess Officer and co-founder of Chess.com. In his memoir, Dark Squares: How Chess Saved My Life, out on 6 September and available now for pre-order, Danny delves into this part of his story for the first time.Links:Dark Squares: How Chess Saved My Life — by Danny Rensch, Hachette, September 2025Chess.com — With Danny Rensch's profile and statisticsIf you have been personally affected by involvement in a cult, or would like to support those who have been, you can find support with or donate to Cult Information and Family Support if you're in Australia (via www.cifs.org.au), and you can find resources outside of Australia with the International Cultic Studies Association (via www.icsahome.com).

Author and conspiracy researcher Mike Rothschild joins Chris to unpack the rise, evolution, and enduring influence of QAnon. They explore its blend of old and new conspiracies, its gamified social appeal, and the algorithmic fuel behind its viral spread. Mike explains how QAnon adapted across borders, embedded itself into mainstream politics, and fostered real-world violence—culminating in the January 6 Capitol attack. They also examine QAnon's psychological grip, its creative and authoritarian appeal, and how families and societies can respond. Plus, COVID's role in supercharging conspiracies, why Russia's role may be overstated, and the challenges of countering disinformation in the age of social media.

David Goodwin spent years working the graveyard shift at his local service station in the outer suburbs of Melbourne. The grungy work quickly took over his life (R).He took the job to support his university studies, but working overnight made study impossible and soon the work took over.From his brightly lit perch behind the anti-jump wires, David saw a collection of very strange people come through the auto-doors.There was the man dressed as a giant bee, a woman who offered to pay for her fuel with a half-eaten pizza, and a psychotic man covered in blood. There were self-appointed wizards and speed-addicted truckies, as well as football hooligans who loved singing. The unusual work changed David from a shy and naive teenager into someone with more street smarts, but it also thwarted his true ambitions for years. Further informationSERVO is published by Hachette. Content Warning: This episode of Conversations contains discussion of drug use.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris.It explores gritty cities, grungy, writing, books, dreams, psychedelics, shrooms, mushrooms, travel, strange jobs, odd jobs, Melbourne's underbelly, memoir, origin story, finding yourself, young men, growing up, raising boys, forging your own path, shiftwork, student job.

The history of the world's most successful military alliance, from the wrecked Europe of 1945 to Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine. As they signed NATO into being after World War II, its founders fervently believed that only if the West's democracies banded permanently together could they avoid a catastrophic global atomic conflict. Over the 75 years since, the alliance has indeed avoided war with Russia, also becoming a major political, strategic and diplomatic player well beyond its borders. It has survived disagreements between leaders from Eisenhower, Churchill and de Gaulle to Trump, Stoltenberg and Merkel, faced down Kremlin foes from Stalin to Putin and endured unending questions and debate over what new nations might be allowed to join. Deterring Armageddon: A Biography of NATO (Hachette UK, 2024) takes the reader from backroom deals that led to NATO's creation, through the Cold War, the Balkans and Afghanistan to the current confrontation with the Kremlin following the invasion of Ukraine. It examines the tightrope walked by alliance leaders between a powerful United States sometimes flirting with isolationism and European nations with their ever-evolving wishes for autonomy and influence. Having spent much of its life preparing for conflicts that might never come, NATO has sometimes found itself in wars that few had predicted – and with its members now again planning for a potential major European conflict. It is a tale of tension, danger, rivalry, conflict, big personalities and high-stakes military and diplomatic posturing – as well as espionage, politics and protest. From the Korean War to the pandemic, the Berlin and Cuba crises to the chaotic evacuation from Kabul, Deterring Armageddon tells how the alliance has shaped and been shaped by history – and looks ahead to what might be the most dangerous era it has ever faced. Peter Apps is global defence correspondent for Reuters news agency and is currently on sabbatical as executive director of the Project for Study of the 21st Century (PS21). He is the author of two Kindle Singles. BEFORE EBOLA (2014) describes his experiences covering haemorrhagic fever in Angola in 2005 while CHURCHILL IN THE TRENCHES (2015) reconstructs the experiences of Britain's future prime minister at the front line during the First World War. Peter's podcast, focusing on modern military topics, as part of PS21 can be found here.

Elisabeth Easther reviews Jamaica Road by Lisa Smith published by Hachette

Hollywood actor Tim Pocock was tricked by his dying, devout mother into undergoing gay conversion therapy. After she died, Tim finally learned how to be himself, without fear and self-loathing.Tim grew up under the thumb of his charismatic, pious mother.He went to a school with links to the controversial, secretive and conservative Catholic organisation, Opus Dei.There, he desperately tried to hide his sexuality, and was ruthlessly bullied for his musical and stage talents.Despite Tim's success in Australian opera, television, and in Hollywood blockbusters, he continued to harbour many secrets about himself and his family.One day his mother, who loved Tim deeply in her own way, and who was dying from ovarian cancer, convinced her only son to come with her to therapy. Instead of finally being able to talk about his struggles, Tim found himself being tricked into gay conversion therapy.For the last few months of his mother's life, he went to be hypnotised by a 'Catholic psychologist' every week, until eventually she died, and Tim was set free to learn how live by and for himself.Further informationThe Truth Will Set You Free: Growing up gay in Opus Dei is published by Hachette.You can stream the Four Corners report into schools with ties to Opus Dei, which features Tim, on ABC iview.The Pared Foundation's full responses to questions from Four Corners can be read here.Opus Dei Australia provided Four Corners with this statement.Find out more about the Conversations Live National Tour on the ABC website.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris and presented by Richard Fidler.

“What is courageous to me is mine. I own it. I own those opportunities.” In this episode, Nick speaks with Scott Simon to explore the themes of courage, fear, and self-mastery. Scott shares his journey from being an introvert to founding the “Scare Your Soul” movement, which encourages people to confront their fears and embrace courage in their everyday lives. What to listen for: Courage can be broken down into four levels: micro, daring, ethical, and legacy. Labels can limit our understanding of ourselves; life is more nuanced. Small acts of courage build momentum and self-efficacy. Courage is rooted in service and love, not just personal gain. Sharing our courageous acts can inspire others to take action. “When I get my head on straight and I know what my goal is for that day, chances are I'm gonna do that thing and chances are I'm also gonna do a lot of other things that end up coming my way that day.” Clarity in the morning sets the tone for momentum throughout the day Focusing on one goal creates a ripple effect of productivity Intention is more powerful than perfection A clear mind is like a magnet for aligned action When you start with purpose, you invite unexpected wins “If you start small and start now, a courage practice, which is what starts to arise is actually a shit ton of fun.” Starting small removes the pressure and opens the door to growth Courage doesn't have to be serious, it can be playful and energizing Progress feels way more fun when you're not waiting for perfect conditions Boldness builds with each tiny step you take What begins as scary often turns into something deeply joyful and life-giving About Scott Simon Scott's journey from a chronically shy, bullied child to becoming a global advocate for courage offers a powerful testament to the transformative power of small, brave acts. As founder of the Scare Your Soul movement and author of the book "Scare Your Soul: 7 Powerful Principles to Harness Fear and Lead Your Most Courageous Life" (Hachette), Scott has developed groundbreaking frameworks that make courage accessible and practical. After a life-changing panic attack at 30,000 feet led to an epiphany about facing fears daily, Scott created methodologies that have revolutionized how individuals and organizations approach courage-building. His SCARE framework and "1:1" practice combine cutting-edge behavioral science with actionable steps that have transformed cultures at organizations including Logitech, Ritz Carlton, Cleveland Clinic, Nestle, and the United Nations Global Compact. A TEDx speaker and co-founder of a happiness incubator, Scott has dedicated his life to showing how small acts of courage can compound into extraordinary change. His unique combination of vulnerable storytelling, scientific insight, and practical application has made him a sought-after speaker for organizations seeking to build more courageous, innovative cultures. https://www.scareyoursoul.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/scareyoursoul/ https://www.instagram.com/scareyoursoul Resources: Check out other episodes about courage.

#160  - From Chronically Ill to Thriving: The Wellness Comeback Story You Need to Hear with Amy Kurtz, Author of Kicking Sick What happens when your body becomes the thing holding you back from living your life? In this episode of The Pretty Well Podcast, I'm joined by Amy Kurtz—author, speaker, and wellness warrior who's turned her own experience with chronic illness into a powerful mission to help others heal. We're talking about what it really takes to live well with invisible illness, how to become your own best advocate, and why your symptoms aren't “just in your head” (even if you've been told that one too many times). Amy shares the mindset shifts, do-able practices, and functional wellness tools that helped her go from barely surviving to thriving. If you've ever felt gaslit, overwhelmed, or just plain exhausted by the medical system, this conversation will feel like a deep breath and a power-up all at once. Because healing isn't linear—but it is possible. You don't have to settle for “you'll just have to live with it.”   More About Amy Kurtz: Facing debilitating pain and health issues since her teenage years, patient advocate and author Amy Kurtz well knows the frustration, fear and isolation that comes with chronic illness.  She wrote the bestselling book Kicking Sick as a reader guide to managing debilitating conditions and living fully. A distinct voice in the health space, Amy's work has been heralded by Mark Hyman,  Deepak Chopra, Kris Carr and more. Lena Dunham named Kicking Sick one of her “top 10 desert island books of all time” in NY MAG.  She has appeared in Oprah, as well as on Good Morning America several times, and Fox. Amy's second book, “But You Look Fine, Trapped in the Hell between Sick and Well and how to Break Free” is due out from Hachette in Spring 2026.  LInks & Resources: Website: https://amykurtz.com/ Social: https://www.instagram.com/_amykurtz https://www.facebook.com/amykurtzauthor   Amy's Book: *Kicking Sick: Your Go-To Guide for Thriving with Chronic Health Conditions https://amzn.to/4ixOQOd  *As An Amazon Associate I Earn A Small Commission From Qualifying Purchases At No Extra Cost To You*   Join the conversation: Share your thoughts with us on social media or in the comments!

¿Cómo narrar desde una memoria que traiciona? ¿Cómo meterse en la piel de un hombre de 70 años cuando se es una escritora joven y feminista? En este capítulo, María del Mar Ramón nos habla de La memoria es un animal esquivo (Hachette), una novela conmovedora y feroz que explora la culpa, el recuerdo y la masculinidad silenciada.Juan Francisco, su protagonista, reconstruye desde el exilio interior una vida marcada por el duelo, el arte y el peso de lo no dicho. Con una prosa íntima y lúcida, María del Mar logra un ejercicio de voz narrativa que desestabiliza certezas y conmueve desde lo más humano.Conversamos sobre escritura y memoria, sobre ficciones masculinas escritas desde la empatía, y sobre cómo la literatura puede ser un acto de compasión. Un capítulo para lectores atentos, para quienes se preguntan si es posible no dejar que se nos escape la vida entera sin reconciliarnos con quienes amamos.#LaMemoriaEsUnAnimalEsquivo #MariaDelMarRamon #ParedroPodcast #LiteraturaColombiana #PodcastDeLibros #NarrativaLatinoamericana #FeminismoYFicción #VocesLatinas #Hachette #PodcastLiterario #LibrosQueTransforman #FicciónContemporánea #DíaDelPadre #Reconciliación #MemoriaYFicción

When Hilde Hinton was on the cusp of adolescence, her mother died. For years she protected her younger siblings from the truth about their mum.Despite the great grief of her mother's shocking death when Hilde was just 12 years old, there was also a sense of relief for Hilde. She shielded her younger siblings, Samuel and Connie Johnson, from the truth of how and why their mother died.But when Connie also died, decades later of cancer, Hilde was propelled into writing her first novel, in between shifts as a prison officer.Her debut book, The Loudness of Unsaid things, was intensely autobiographical.While Connie never got to read the book, Hilde's brother Samuel finally 'met' their mother through Hilde's writing, and learned all that his big sister had done for them growing up.Now, from her home in Melbourne, where people who need solace freely come and go, Hilde explores in her writing the ordinary things that make life extraordinary.This episode was produced by Meggie Morris.
