This week, Rachel and Lynne chat with writer Siobhan O'Brien, who has just released her first novel to much acclaim - All the Golden Light - details here: https://www.harpercollins.com.au/9781460762004/all-the-golden-light/. Siobhan talks about the writing process and how writing fiction was so different from her previous non-fiction projects.
She talks about the realities of being a first time author, including:
- Learning to market your book
- Meeting your readers
- How much you really make as a writer in Australia
- Doing the research for a historical novel
- Editing your book and learning how to 'kill your darlings'
- And why she's now working on a second book
