If you love writing and/or reading crime, head ove If you love writing and/or reading crime, head over to my blog – I’ve just published a fresh author interview with Swedish crime novelist @christinagustavson.forfattare, who draws on her background in forensic psychiatry to write twisty, ripped-from-the-headlines thrillers. Two of her novels are now available in English on Amazon: Murderous Lies and Sixth Scent. Read all about it via the link in my bio 🔪🌳❄️ #authorinterview #crimewriting #swedishcrimenovel #editing #writingtips
Just in case you didn’t already know, authors ar Just in case you didn’t already know, authors are the best people. I had a great time interviewing the warm and thoughtful @writerock11 about her new book Leave The Girls Behind at Elanora Library @gclibraries last night. Like her bestselling debut Before You Knew My Name, this book explores the damaging ripple effect of gender-based crime in ways that will leave you interrogating your beliefs and biases. But even amid that dark subject matter, there’s lightness - because that’s who Jacqueline is. We also talked musical theatre and how the musicals she referenced in the book magically came to the page; ghost stories and our enduring connection with loved ones beyond this plane; true crime research techniques; and advice for aspiring writers. My favourite nugget: it’s never too late to start writing if it’s your story to tell ✨Thanks, @writerock11, @allenandunwin and @gclibraries for a wonderful evening! #writing #authortalk #writinginspo
Supporting authors so they feel safe to share thei Supporting authors so they feel safe to share their story and explore fresh ideas to make it shine is crucial to the editing process, I reckon. I loved working with THE @emma.mugglestone on the structural edit for two of her gorgeous Wattle Junction books and I’d love to help you too. If you’re looking for a sensitive editor to support you through the editing journey, drop me a line. I offer a free sample edit and Zoom consult to make sure we’re a good fit first. #editing #bookstagram
Wishing you plenty of schmökern this weekend. It’s definitely schmökern weather in my part of the world! 🌧 (Am I using this right? 😅) PS Thank you, Germans, for this excellent addition to my vocabulary. #bookstagram #amreading #wordoftheday
