Here is a recording of my interview on ABC Coast FM!
Plus a podcast and transcript of an interview with the Sydney Writers Centre (which you can also download from iTunes).
There was also an article in the Gold Coast Bulletin you can read online here. (You might have also seen me in the Courier Mail on publication day. I was on page 13. I hope that's lucky.)
Some reviews of All This Could End from Deborah Abela (!!! whose Max Remy series I loved as a kid), Books+Publishing, Vegan YA Nerds (complete with adorable picture of cat posing with my novel!), Alpha Reader, Maree's Musings and inkcrush.
I'll be posting updates on appearances and interviews and the like more frequently to my Facebook page, and adding print snippets and reviews to the All This Could End page on this blog (once I manage to wrangle the scanner and convert PDFs to jpegs) so you can have a look at both of those places if you're interested.
P.S. Thank you to everyone for all of their support and lovely words about the new novel so far! You are wonderful. Releasing a second novel is actually no less terrifying than releasing a first novel. I'm working on a blog post about that.
Loved your interview! And your advice is pretty awesome too (just sayin'). It's definitely important how much criticism you need to take on board, especially when you're starting out writing. I'm waiting for our bookshops to get All This Could End. ;)
ReplyDeleteSo, in your interview, you were talking about networking with other writers and stuff...can I ask, how you did it when you were starting out? :)
Hey Cait! Sorry for the delayed responses - thanks for your lovely words! As for networking, it was not so much deliberately trying to 'network' (which I have no idea how to do, or what that really means - sort of happened inadvertently) but just interacting with people through my blog and making friends. I emailed authors I admired and interviewed them, read lots of blogs and chatted with people, and found critique partners through my blogging also. I think it's just a matter of being excited about books & writing and wanting to talk about those things with people, and as a result getting to know lots of people. (Generally writers want to talk about writing!) I hope that helps! :)
DeleteThe interview was amazing and I love your accent; it's so different from the English I get on school. And I hope All This Could End is going to be translated in to Dutch soon!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jolie! :)
