On The Tenth Day of Christmas
The Writing Advice Jenni Fagan Gave to Me…
Here we are on day ten, have you found this series helpful? Myself and all the authors who have taken time to contribute would love to know.
Today’s mystery author is Jenni Fagan, author of one of my most favourite reads of 2021, Luckenbooth and indeed, 2022, Hex. She is also an award winning poet and screenwriter. When her debut novel The Panopticon was published, she was declared Granta Best of Young British Novelist and her first two novels appeared on the cover of the New York Times Book Review, who described her as ‘the patron saint of literary street urchins’. What an accolade.
She achieved all this despite growing up in local authority care and experiencing years of homelessness. She is one of my favourite writers and an inspiration. I am honoured that she is sharing her thoughts with you today. I hope you find her writing advice as inspiring as I do.
