Kyle Perry

This month I had a brilliant chat with Tasmanian author Kyle Perry about his novel The Deep.I’d heard Kyle talk about his writing process before and he was so articulate and generous with his own experiences of writing, I knew he’d be perfect for the podcast. In this chat with Kyle about his latest novel The Deep, we talked about the importance of the opening image of a novel, Kyle’s trick to creating a good plot twist, how to make characters distinctive from one another and Kyle gives us a great example of what he did to make a couple of his characters more likeable. He also shares some of the editorial notes he received from his publisher on the Deep and how he applied them, so there are some greats insights there.There ARE spoilers in this episode. If you prefer not to know anything about The Deep or any of it’s fantastic twists and turns, come back and listen after you’ve read it. And I highly recommend you do because this is a really great, in-depth chat about the ins and outs of writing this particular book.ABOUT KYLE PERRYKyle Perry is a drug and alcohol counsellor based in Hobart, Tasmania.
