The Joy of Writing
Is writing really a joy? You decide with your host Mark Carew.
Mark is the author of two novels published by Salt (an award-winning independent literary publisher in the UK). The novels are The Book of Alexander and Magnus.
Season 1 of the podcast features in-depth conversations with fellow writers about their novels, discussions of the nitty-gritty of writing, and advice for new and aspiring writers - as in how to write a novel (my most popular episodes).
Season 2 is a chapter-by-chapter narration by me of a self-published novel Beyond The North Wind.

We discuss several topics in this episode. How the act and art of writing books is central to Fiona's life. How her intuitive approach to writing translates into advice for her creative writing students. And how receiving fancy stationery as a present when young was an inspiration to write stories in the first place.
