Anyone embarking on writing a book will know how tough a journey that can be, and how many unexpected bumps and hurdles can be encountered. Our guest this week, Rachel Grosvenor, has combined her knowledge as a writer and editor with her training as a certified life coach to become a writing coach. She aims to help her clients through the creative writing process from idea to completion, and help them to balance busy lives with completing their writing goals. Rachel draws heavily on her own experience - she completed her PhD while working two jobs, so she understands the competing pressures facing her clients. Rachel is also a successful author: The Finery was published to great acclaim in August 2023, and her next novel, Witchborne will be published in September.


Also this week we reveal how authors formerly published by UK independent publisher Unbound will have to wait longer to receive the money they're owed, and we look at the CWA Daggers shortlist for 2025, how many former Hobcast guests feature on the lists.
