Catherine Chidgey’s 2023 Jann Medlicott Acorn Prize for Fiction-winning novel The Axeman’s Carnival is told from the point of view of a magpie, while Remote Sympathy features an SS officer who is a disarmingly three-dimensional family man. The Wish Child is voiced by a mysterious figure whose identity is only revealed late in the story. Join Catherine to consider how to create unusual and unexpected narrators who not only ring true, but who also allow your readers to consider the world through fresh eyes.
