Sweetman Podcast: Episode 89 - Kirsten McDougall

An in-depth chat with Wellington writer and publicist Kirsten McDougall. She is the author of two books - The Invisible Rider (2012) and Tess (2017) and works as a publicist for VUP. We talk about her role as literary manager for Eleanor Catton during the height of interest around The Luminaries and Kirsten's role working in publishing. We talk about her aims and ambitions as a writer and her process. We talk too about her need to have a job outside of writing, how working as a writer full-time is never the goal.
