This week on the podcast, we chat with copywriter and author Emma Grey, whose best-selling novel, The Last Love Note, captivated us both. We talk to Emma about how she channelled her grief on losing her husband into her book and how writing works as a cathartic process. The author of five books, Emma shares why this one was different, the process of writing through grief and why it has resonated so strongly with the Australian public.
