A monthly podcast featuring authors and their books.
Welcome to Kelly's Writerly Q&A, a monthly blog series that is now a podcast!
Listen to my 17th episode where I chat to Shaeden Berry, thriller author of At Cafe 64. This book will appeal to fans of Jodi Picoult.
We discuss:
- Whether Shaeden is a planner or a panster
- Why Shaeden is drawn to highlighting certain characters
- How Shaeden cut this novel down from 120k to 90k
- Why Shaeden forces herself to write every Sat and Sun
- The songs that inspired Shaeden's POV characters
- Timers and how great they are for writers
- Writing rituals
Thank you for listening!
