I've just posted a monster of a blog post on something I feel very passionately about: learning to read like a writer, so that every book on your shelf can be an education. This is Part 2, where I demonstrate how I would analyze the first chapters of five novels. open.substack.com/pub/maggiest...

In the latest episode, I'm joined by @nydiawriter.bsky.social to discuss her second book. Full episode here: youtu.be/TLRtSddDWM8?...

What's THE LISTENERS about? As a reader, I know that I don't really care what topic my favorite writers tackle—whatever the book seems to be about, it's really just an excuse for getting under the hood of my emotions and messing around. That's the kind of writer I'd like to be, too.

People have been reading Sinners and they seem to like it! Phew – I can breathe again! So much thanks to @floracarr.bsky.social – 'Fierce and searing.' @mserinkelly.bsky.social – 'Transporting.' Andrew Taylor – 'rollercoaster of a story that has the dark logic of a Greek tragedy'

Delighted to be part of Suffolk Libraries #Discoverreads. I'll be in Ipswich on Sunday May 25th. Hope to see you there! @suffolklibraries.bsky.social
