How Writers Write: J.S. Collyer (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For the third instalment of How Writers Write, I’m chuffed to welcome J.S. Collyer.I first came across Jenny’s writing years ago, when I had the pleasure of teaching her when she was an undergraduate at Lancaster University. Even then, she stood out — not just for her skill on the page, but for a professionalism about the craft that many writers take years to develop.The idea behind this series is to ask writers about the practical, sometimes messy business of writing: where they work, how they

I’m hoping the answers will be as different as the wri
When Trust Leaves the Room (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One of the strange things about creative collaboration is that, when it works, you barely think about the contract.You think about the work.You are excited. The other person is excited. You send each other things at midnight. You finish each other’s sentences.
