Coffee Break with Lucy Clarke: Morocco, TV Adaptations and Writing The Surf House

In this episode of 'The Conversation Coffee Break', I sit down with the brilliant bestselling thriller author Lucy Clarke to talk about her brand new book The Surf House, a gripping, sun-soaked thriller set on the stunning shores of Morocco.Lucy shares the fascinating story of how she went from advertising executive to internationally published author , what it was like to be invited into the writers' room for the TV adaptations of her books, and how she wrote an 80,000-word first draft in just 17 days. We also get into the emotional rollercoaster of receiving editor's notes , the importance of finding your writing tribe and why success in publishing is never as straightforward as it looks from the outside.Lucy Clarke's Recommendation: Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaugheyBuy The Surf HouseFollow Lucy ClarkePre- Order 'The Shadow Carver' PbBuy me a cup of coffee ☕️ | Buy books by my guestsFollow Me Bluesky | Substack | Instagram | Facebook | Threads Hosted on Acast.
