Between The Lines: Salt River Road and the path to inclusive literature with Molly Schmidt (Chapter Two)

We turn the page to Chapter Two with emerging local writer Molly Schmidt.

Molly is a journalist and novelist who won the 2022 Fremantle TAG Hungerford Award for the unpublished manuscript Salt River Road set to be out via Fremantle Press in November 2023.

Schmidt’s coming-of-age story is set in 1970s regional Western Australia and follows teenage siblings, Rose and Frank Tetley, who are grappling with the death of her mother. Though fictional the story draws on her own experience of losing her father to cancer and champions the wisdom and knowledge of Traditional Custodians across the South West with Molly embarking on an extensive research and collaboration period to make sure all local voices are included in the story.
