Charlotte Wood on her new novel, being a successful author and having her work adapted for the stage

We are back after a short break - and we have a great episode to share today. This week, Rachel and Lynne chat with award-winning novelist Charlotte Wood about the ups and downs of writing literary fiction. Charlotte shares her early days as a writer, including how she supplemented her income before she found success. We chat about:

• What literary awards mean and if they help your career
• Choosing the right publishing team
• Working with difficult topics
• Going on the publicity trail for your books
• Social media for novelists
• Having her work adapted for the stage.

It's a fascinating chat and a wonderful insight into life as a successful novelist.
