Bad Diaries in the media
Here’s a selection of our Bad Diaries news, reviews and interviews.
If you’d like to talk all things Bad Diaries with Jenny or Tracy, get in touch — we’d love to chat.
Not-so-secret diaries of writers! Ahead of Bad Diaries Salon at WORD Christchurch festival in August 2024, we featured in Your Weekend magazine on Saturday 10 August, with diary excerpts from Tracy Farr and five upcoming or former salon guests.

Listen to writer and Bad Diaries Salon creator Jenny Ackland and writer and actor (Sea Change, Blue Heelers, and more) William McInnes talk about Bad Diaries Salon (and read from their diaries) on ABC RN’s The Book Show in 2018. William and Jenny read at the #GET_REAL salon at Geelong Library in 2018. (If you ever wondered what William would have been like as a school-boy, this interview answers that question.)
Tracy Farr talks to Jesse Mulligan about Bad Diaries Salon on RNZ Afternoons in 2018, in the regular Book critic slot. Bad Diaries chat starts around 5m00s. Tracy talks about the first ever salon held in Aotearoa New Zealand (#RISK in Christchurch in 2018), and teases the then-upcoming first-ever Wellington salon.
