Asher Keddie and Liane Moriarty Tell the Truth About Storytelling

What a combination and creative minds! Step inside Marie Claire’s exclusive space for another candid conversation where fun and frankness takes centre stage. Australian icons Asher Keddie and Liane Moriarty dissect art, ambition, and the reality of writing and acting “complex, layered characters.”, Liane reveals: “I am really interested in when people are different than what they appear—I’m fascinated by behaving in one way, but… behind the scenes, struggling with that.” Giving insight into her incredible writing. 

From the set of Nine Perfect Strangers to the intimate details behind Offspring and Big Little Lies, these two trailblazers open up about creative collaboration, evolving ambition, and embracing the label “women’s fiction.” Liane ponders, “Should I, in fact, embrace women’s fiction because most of my readers are women, and I love doing these events, and it’s all women?” and what that means for women’s literature

Hear how “stories are so ripe to be explored on the screen,” why both women “dig and dig and dig until I can’t anymore,” and how the tension between comedy and drama defines their enduring success. Whether you're a storyteller, a reader, or simply “curious,” trust us you’re  gonna to want to hear this.”
