Bonus Content with Marni Appleton - Taylor Swift, and Getting Up Early

Rippling Pages: Interviews with Writers

"Taylor Swift is somebody who has managed to keep reinventing herself to stay relevant."

Welcome to Rippling Points, more content and more insights and inspiration into the craft of literature:
Marni Appleton is here to talk about her short story collection, I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY, published by Indigo Press. We discuss:
- How Taylor Swift's ability to reinvent herself and stay relevant differs to that of the characters

- Ideas of productivity and how they shouldn't reflect your value in the world
The modern world Marni presents to us in her stories is one that feels incredibly liberating, but then hinged by archaic attitudes from the past all at the same time. Women go viral on social media for seemingly innocent reasons; open and polyamorous relationships that suddenly feel shut; roles in theatre feel too close to real life. Marni holds a PhD in creative writing from the University of East Anglia. Her writing has been published in Banshee, The Tangerine, Contemporary Women’s Writing. This is her first collection.
