The Final Draft podcast is all about books, writing and literary culture. We're dedicated to exploring Australian writing, looking into the issues that drive our storytelling to discover more from the books you love.

These are the stories that make us who we are.

Sinead Stubbins is a writer, editor and cultural critic, and the author of In My Defence, I Have No Defence. Her debut novel is Stinkbug.

The advertising agency where Edith works is going through a restructure. Everyone’s worried the new Swedish owners will bring their own team and they’ll be out of a job. With redundancies the hot topic round the watercooler, a select group of Winked employees are chosen for a corporate retreat. Edith’s made the cut and assumes this is her chance to show her worth.

The assignment is simple; find a best work friend. Easy for Edith, she’s already got Mo and while she’s got some other stuff going on, surely she can fake her way through a weekend.

Sure there’s dead birds at the perimeter and Edith is hiding a dark secret. But really, what could go wrong in a converted Convent watched over by a saint called Christina the Astonishing?!

Final Draft is produced and presented by Andrew Pople
