Lisa Holland - Giving voice to first-person stories

Lisa Holland is a corporate affairs specialist, journalist and author who writes books that she hopes will make a difference in the world. Her non-fiction books feature Aboriginal Australians, remarkable women and exceptional people overcoming difficult challenges. Lisa enjoys capturing first-hand accounts at a marked time in history so people can see what the world was like at that time because history can be rewritten further down the track. 

In this episode of Not the Plot, host Teena Raffa-Mulligan chats with Lisa about the importance of treating personal stories with trust and respect, her in-depth interview process, and the challenges of reaching a reading audience with first-person non-fiction.
