Author Charlotte Wood is the author of nine brilliant books. Throughout her career, she has most generously shared her own research and life-long investigations into how stories are made. She has even been appointed a Member of the Order of Australia for her significant service to literature.

Her latest novel Stone Yard Devotional has just been released to a great critical reception and before that, her novel The Weekend was an international bestseller, winning both the Stella Prize and the Prime Minister's Literary Award.

“To create is to defy emptiness."

... is just one of many profound things that Charlotte says in her non-fiction book The Luminous Solution: Creativity, Resilience & the Inner-Life. It is a must read for anyone who has a creative bone in their body.

True to form, Charlotte most generously shares her process and challenges with us.

We HEART Charlotte Wood.
