For five years Simon Akam and Rachel Lloyd have been interviewing authors about topics ranging from their earliest experiences of writing to building a routine and the pitfalls of the publishing industry. Here they present a compilation that includes authors such as Anne Enright, Ian McEwan and Kate Mosse, giving an insight into their daily habits, writing tips, and ways to stay motivated.
'Inspiring' - Cathy Rentzenbrink, author of Write It All Down
'Fascinating and useful' - Joe Moran, author of First You Write A Sentence
Bestselling and award-winning authors share the secrets to their success, and the hard lessons they have learnt along the way.
Where do the best ideas come from? How do you stay motivated? What does it take to become a published author? And how do you actually make money from your writing? For over five years the hosts of Always Take Notes podcast have posed their nosiest questions to some of the world's greatest writers. The result is a compendium of frank and frequently entertaining guidance for living a creative life. From the early failures that shaped them to the daily challenges of writing and the habits that keep them on track, literary luminaries offer guidance to inspire.
