In our second episode of the Eastbourne Literary Festival podcast we had the pleasure to talk with Holly Seddon. Holly is the international, best-selling author of "Try Not to Breathe", "Don't Close Your Eyes", "Love Will Tear Us Apart", "The Hit List", "The Woman on the Bridge" and "The Short Straw". And if that wasn’t enough to be tremendously exciting, Holly also has a new novel, "59 Minutes", which will be published in September.
In this episode Holly shares her utter joy of writing and carefully explains the differences between writing and the process of publishing. She explores how she crafts commercial fiction, explores and protects fragile early ideas and trusts a messy, artistic and real writing process to help her deliver such wonderful stories.
Lastly, in harmony with our festival's mission of helping people realise they can write and already are a writer, Holly shares her tips for embarking on, and continuing, a writing life.
