For our eighth episode we are joined by a writer who has been a supporter and fan of our festival since our very early days.
Louise Morrish is a historical fiction author and librarian from Hampshire. She writes stories inspired by the lives of women in the past, who achieved extraordinary things, but whom history has forgotten.
Louise always knew she wanted to write books, but it wasn’t until her late 30s that she finally had the chance to take her hobby seriously. In 2012 she completed the Faber online ‘Write Your Novel’ course, and then, armed with a manuscript, she began the submission process.
Her debut novel was Operation Moonlight and it won the Penguin Random House First Novel competition. Just recently Louise has also released her new novel “Women of War”.
