The quality of this video is really not great, but the advice offered here is worth listening to. As a writer of fiction I found what Elmore Leonard has to say about how he writes really fascinating!
Some great advice on self publishing – sounds good to me!

I haven’t actually got the chance to read one of Diana Athill’s books yet, although I’ve dipped into quite a few in bookshops and on Amazon, I think one of her books will be next on my book list. I love to see interviews with her, because she has such a fab attitude to life. Humorous, cheerful and not afraid to use an occasional swear word, for a woman in her 90’s I think she is a truly remarkable lady!
Jon McGregor’s book ‘If Nobody Speaks Of Remarkable Things’ is a favourite book of mine. His writing was the kind I had been waiting to read for years! It changed my ideas about how to write, and pushed me forward into another direction.
Great idea Suzy… I was thinking of doing something similar. I posted a link on my post mentioning a BBC documentary on Ian Rankin; http://rachelschout22.wordpress.com/2012/11/21/the-question/ – it gives a great account of a successful author’s writing process. Well worth a watch. 🙂
Thank you, glad you found it of interest! Yes I saw the Ian Rankin interview on iPlayer, someone posted a notice about it on the community section. I thought it was really interesting, he comes across as a very down to earth man!
Great idea this Suzy. Liking the page also. Jim (KK)
Hello Jim – that was a surprise!! 🙂 I’m always fishing on You Tube for something interesting, and had most of these saved on my computer, thought it would be good to share them from You Tube – and all the other videos I like as well!! There aren’t a lot of authors I really like, but these ones I find intriguing!
WordPress has given you a very green spectacled gravatar here – good job Jottify doesn’t do that! I think you really should go for that photo Jim! 😀
Thank you for sharing these links! It was just what I was looking for 😀
Oh yes, the writers page, I often forget this is here! I thought it would be good to gather all the interesting ones I found together, I must go looking for some more soon. Very pleased to hear you enjoyed it! 😀
I never knew , how amazing you are.
Oh, thank you – I do try to be entertaining, in more ways than one! These are some of my favourite authors and some brilliant interviews of theirs. I thought it would be good to spread their enthusiasm for writing a little further! 😀
Great idea Suzy!With love maima
I love finding new videos of what writers have to say, I’m sure over time this page will get much longer with additions. Thanks so much for taking a look! 🙂
PS. I’m not sure why it took me this long to think of it, but I finally tweeted and Linked In the link to The Writing Garden and my ‘Dog’ story. 🙂
Oh thank you Pamela, very good of you!♥ Don’t worry, you’re not the only one who forgets, I do a lot of that too. There’s so much to remember, so many people to get back to, it’s amazing we remember anything at all! 😉
