Amanda Craig And Leon Craig: Things I Wish Id Known As A Novelist

Is creative writing taught or is it something you learn the hard way? And what does it really take to sustain a life as a novelist
today?
Two novelists, a generation apart and with different approaches to creativity, have very different views on this and as they happen to be mother and daughter, expect sparks to fly! Each is a storyteller in a different genre one a State of the Nation novelist weaving contemporary characters and dilemmas into strong plots involving betrayal, murder and redemption, the other mining Gothic tropes for stories about prejudice, fear, feminism and horror.
Join acclaimed novelist Amanda Craig and writer-editor Leon Craig for a lively, intergenerational conversation on the craft and business of fiction.
