Can you tell us a little bit about yourself and your writing journey?
When I hit thirty, five years ago now, I promised myself I’d write a novel. I worked steadily for a year and thought I had a genuine manuscript, but that first attempt fell way short of the mark (it was awful). Once I’d picked myself up off the floor, I enrolled on the six-month Writing a Novel course at Faber and it changed everything. I honed my skills and finished The May Queen soon after the course finished.
