About Me
Here are the questions I'd ask myself, if I was interviewing me.
To hear what other people would ask, listen to
Paula B's podcast interview with
me on The Writing Show, about how my writing has developed.
Which authors do you
admire?
Whoa, straight in there with the heavy
questions! Barbara Kingsolver for the amazing amount of research
she puts into her books, Meg Cabot for the incredible energy that comes
across in her Princess books and Victor Hugo for making me cry
(there aren't many authors who can do that).
When do you write?
I have a full-time job which I love
and keeps me up to date with the world of work, allowing me to write
topical business pieces. But it doesn't leave much time for
writing, so it tends to be evenings and weekends. With a glass of
French red. And some chocolate. You can't write without
chocolate. How
long have you been writing for?
Should I include the stories I wrote
when I was very young? My first piece of 'proper' poetry was at
the age of 8 and I won a local competition not long after that.
But non-fiction since my brief stint as editor of my university
newspaper, and my first 'paid for' work in magazines appeared in 1997. |
