Don't be a perfectionist - with Elly Griffiths

We're thrilled to welcome top ten best-selling author, Elly Griffiths. Fresh from her UK tour promoting her latest book, The Frozen People, Elly gives us a fascinating insight into her writing life and her journey to becoming one of the UK's most cherished crime writers. She talks about the inspiration for her books, the amazing research she does and her writing process. She shows us the lucky crime-themed necklace gifted to her by a friend when she won the prestigious Crime Writer's Association dagger award, the highest accolade in crime writing, as well as her mother's ring which she wears to allow her to 'absorb some of her calm'. Elly talks about her love of Italy and her Italian heritage and says that not being a perfectionist is what's seen her through. Delightfully warm and down to earth, Elly is full of great advice and also shares her reading and writing tips. To view our guests' special bits, please follow us on Instagram @showusyourbitspodcast Hosted on Acast.
