Authors offer insights into the craft of writing

I am delighted to be one of the authors to be featured in a new book that examines the craft of writing.

Titled 100 Ways to Write a Book, the publication  comprises author interviews initiated by Alex Pearl during the Covid epidemic and which started life as a small lockdown project. Before long, Alex’s requests for interviews elicited an overwhelming response, and the project soon took on a life of its own.

In the book, authors from a wide spectrum of backgrounds talk about their backgrounds, motivations and working methods. They provide a fascinating insight into the mysterious process of creating imagined worlds on the page.

All proceeds will go to Pen International, which works to promote understanding and mutual respect between nations and champions the principle of unhampered transmission of thought.
