A proposito di questo titolo

Hi, I'm Zoe! 🙋‍♀️ I'm a Visual Linguist and Exophonic Writer based in Melbourne, Australia. Join me each episode while I podcast my quest to understand how exophony is changing the world.


Exophony (or the art of creative writing in a non-native language) is an old practice that's getting more and more prominence in recent years.

Some questions that keep me awake at night (which fuel this podcast) are:


✨Why do writers choose to write in a non-native language over their mother tongue? How does this choice impact their work?


✨Is the world welcoming the works of exophonic writers? Or are they treated as less good than native authors?


✨Are exophonic writers embracing our own imperfect styles or are we trying to appear as close to native as possible?


✨ What will normalising exophonic practices mean for global readers and literature?



If that sounds like what you need to hear right now, press play and embark with me in an exophonic creative journey! 🎧 SEASON 2, COMING AUGUST 1ST 2025! 🎧

    Hello friends and welcome to the last episode of the Exophonic writer Podcast of 2025.

    I have great company! Join me on my chat with Mages Ruiz Diaz from Acts of Imagination, as we discuss how we both brought our Argentinian cultural backgrounds to our work here in Australia.

    Also, we touched on particularly interesting topics such as Mages' branding work for an Azerbaijani client, changing names after migration and some pondering on the Spanish language.

    This one is a must-listen-to, so I hope you tune in! 😎

    Hi exophonic friends,


    We are here again with yet another amazing guest!

    Dr Gabriel García Ochoa is a Mexican-born academic and writer based in Melbourne, Australia. He teaches at Monash University, where his work explores cultural literacy, world literature, and translation. He has been a Visiting Scholar at Harvard University and is the author of the 2019 science fiction novel The Hypermarket.

    Join me in my conversation with Gabriel as we discussed cultural literacy, English as birth right, cultural expectation on exophonic writers and, —surprise, surprise— imposter syndrome!

    We also delved into Gabriel's first novel (linked below) and what he's writing next.
