Claire Ross Dunn

My guest on this episode is Claire Ross Dunn. Claire is not only a novelist, whose first book, At Last Count, was published in 2022 by Invisible Publishing, but also a story editor and producer for television, where she has worked on obscure little shows like Little Mosque on the Prairie and Degrassi: The Next Generation. At Last Count was named a Best Book of 2022 by the Globe and Mail. Claire and I talk about how she felt like a complete newbie shifting from the film-and-TV world to that of books, how she discovered many of the skills she learned in the former were transferable to the latter, and how an early success at getting Devo to play her high school pretty much set the pattern for her entire creative career. Claire Ross Dunn: clairerossdunn.comMusic: "simple-hearted thing" by Alex Lukashevsky.
