Can you share a piece of good advice you ve received about writing? Make all your characters as smart as possible - Mark Leidner. Hold yourself to a higher standard than anyone else is going to.
What advice do you give to writers starting out? Don t be afraid to try on different voices, copy, steal. Nothing is original, not really.
What kind of books do you like to read for enjoyment I only read for enjoyment. I read a lot of humour, 20th century crime-fiction, fantasy, people like Elizabeth Jane Howard and Elizabeth Strout. I m a children s bookseller, so I read a lot of middle-grade books about magic and art heists too. Non-fiction - particularly science. Interesting biographies.

Going West Festival has announced a brand-new approach to celebrating live poetry with Different Out Loud, a collection of thoughtful video collaborations between Aotearoa poets and filmmakers.
Themed around the word âcoastalâ, these integrated pieces by some of our best poets and finest screen artists are being aired online from 12 April 2021.Â
The Kaupapa for Different Out Loud was to create poetry on the theme of âcoastalâ or âlittoralâ, shot within the WaitÄkere Ranges Local Board area. Four of these videos are true collaborations, in which poets and filmmakers have worked together to develop integrated pieces, where the words and pictures depend on each other for their fullest meaning.Â
