Two Wayward Writers (North)

Rachel and Laura are joined by their first very special guest author, Claire Gallagher. Claire is the author of contemporary romances, often with a fantastical twist. She also writes female-led psychological thrillers which she is aiming to publish traditionally via her literary agent. Over the years, Claire has also toyed with other genres, such as Middle Grade fantasy, Young Adult gothic romance and historical fiction. Her short stories have been published online, in anthologies and in magazines. Because of her extensive experience writing and reading multiple genres, Claire was the ideal guest to help us navigate the topic of genre.

In the very first episode of Two Wayward Writers, Laura and Rachel talk about voice - not necessarily writing voice, but the voices we talk with. Join them for a natter about accents and how the flow state of writing or singing doesn't always come easily with speaking. This episode was recorded long-distance between Lancashire and Borneo, and there may be slight lag or distortion in the audio in places. We hope it doesn't spoil your enjoyment. We're working on a better connection for next time.
