Hokusai to the Highlands: Catching up with T. Y. Garner

April 20, 2025 • Ringwood Publishing • Season 5 • Episode 5

On this week's podcast, we welcome back T. Y. Garner to discuss his short story Scrap, the story of a tragic incident in the Highlands and the deep relationships this sparks, which won the 2024 Grant Muir Prize.

We chat about finding inspiration in personal experience, portraying complex characters, and writing processes, before hearing about Tony's experience since becoming a Ringwood author with his debut novel Hotel Hokusai, published last year, and his future writing plans.

Make sure to head to the Ringwood website after listening, where you can read T. Y. Garner's prize winning story and purchase his highly acclaimed novel.
