29. Rethinking Novellas
Thursday Apr 21, 2016
Thursday Apr 21, 2016
This week we reconsider what we’ve been told about writing novellas – that is not to do it – and examine what novellas are, how to write them, where they can be published and who likes to read them. As a result I’m much less freaked out about the idea that I might be writing one!

28. The Joanne Clancy Affair
Thursday Apr 14, 2016
Thursday Apr 14, 2016
This week we talk about the story that’s a fire all over the writing world. Eilis O’Hanlon published an article in theIrish Independent about how she discovered her published novels were stolen and available for sale on kindle under the name Joanne Clancy. A very little digging finds that “Joanne Clancy” has 26 novels to her name and claims to go from start to finish writing a novel in just 6 weeks. We’re agog and aghast and also other words, which we’re afraid to write down lest they be stolen! But just how far does the conspiracy go?
