Hi, exophonics. I know... it's been a minute.

But I have a really good excuse. I've been working on the publishing process of my first novel: TANGO MASALA!!!

Tango Masala is a psychological coming-of-age drama written in verse, about Bianca, a language teacher living in Buenos Aires and Milan, an Indian businessman bearing a job proposal that will change Bianca's world.

It's available on hardback and paperback, Kindle and Kindle Unlimited. In this episode of The Exophonic Writer Podcast I want to share three valuable lessons I learnt in the process:

1. Don't overcomplicate things.
2. Give yourself plenty of time.
3. Have realistic expectations.

That's a bit generic advice, isn't it? Tune in to find out how these three lessons were relevant in my publishing process. :)

SEE YOU SOON IN SEASON 2! XoXo

Hello, Exophonics!

In this episode I'll share with you a map of the milestones of my (still very young) trajectory in this writerly life. My aim is to inspire you to do the same with your own journey and, like that, beat IMPOSTER SYNDROME, once and for all!...Or at least try. 😉

Let's gooo!✨

Welcome, exophonic friends!

It's almost impossible to talk about exophony without talking about Identity, since it's such a fundamental pillar for this practice.

Matters of Identity emerge during the phase of choosing to become an exophonic writer as well as during the phase after one has already been writing in a second language for a while (well, duh, matters of identity govern almost everything we do, don't they?)

In this episode, I'm posing a lot of questions about the expectations surrounding identity and literary voice of exophonic writers and even though they are questions I don't necessarily know the answer to, I think they are important questions to start asking.
