Noè Welcome to Why Write, a super short podcast that asks writers just that, why they write. Hi, I'm Noè Harsel, a writer and Chair of Writers Victoria, and I'm excited to chat to a diverse group of writers and simply ask, why write? I'm glad you're here with me.

Today, I have Andrea Rowe. Andrea is a Victorian Children's YA author, short story writer and she has published in anthologies and magazines. Her debut book Jetty Jumping has been shortlisted in the 2022 CBCA Book of the Year for Early Childhood. Andrea won the 2020 Hal Porter Short Story Award, and is a professional copywriter and content strategist for several respected Australian charities. She's also the founder of the Peninsula Writers' Club and the Mornington Peninsula Shire Mayor's Writing Award.
