This week the tables are turned, and Harriet gets her fair share of questioning!
Joining Harriet this week is prolific author Dorothy Koomson. Dorothy has written an incredible 17 books and as you’ll hear - she does NOT write books she isn’t wholly passionate about.
Dorothy gives Harriet some serious home truths about the writing and publishing process; what agents and publishers are looking for in a writer and why, even after many successful books, rejection can never be ruled out.
In this week’s creative exercise you’ll be looking back over all that you’ve achieved in the past year, celebrating both the small and big wins in a very unique way.
~~~~~~~~~~
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a woman at the start of a midlife crisis needs a creative project. So writer, journalist and broadcaster Harriet Minter is writing a book….. A “chick-lit” novel (don’t worry, we’ll be discussing that term). A genre that is both critiqued and loved in equal parts.
Join Harriet for the writing journey, as she navigates story arcs, character traits and plots. In every episode, you’ll hear from authors who have been there and done it and friends who can help crack problems that Harriet has been dealing with in her novel each week.
