For just over ten years I edited on online crime fiction magazine, which gave me the extraordinary opportunity to interview a great range of writers working in the mystery genre, but whose insights into and advice on the craft of writing are invaluable to anyone looking to write any sort of piece, long or short, fiction or non-fiction.
In this interview, carried out in 2017, I spoke with Lee Child, creator of the Jack Reacher character, and one of the most successful authors of our generation - perhaps of any generation. It is said that someone, somewhere in the world, buys a Jack Reacher book every second.
Lee Child is an extraordinarily open and generous man, as you will find in this video - his advice on writing and on establishing a relationship with your audience are invaluable -
and you get to have a glimpse inside his gorgeous Manhatten apartment…
