#WritersCoffeeClub 25/9: Talk about a communal writing project you worked on. How did it go?
I’ve never worked on a project I’d describe as communal. I’ve contributed to anthologies, & recruited writers for a walking/travel book, but in both cases…

#WritersCoffeeClub – 25th Sept. Talk about a communal writing project you worked on. How did it go?

#writersCoffeeClub 9/24: Do you write primarily for yourself or a reader?

I wrote 'Management Apologises for the Inconvenience' purely for myself because it made me laugh until I cried.

To discover that it actually made others laugh too was a complete surprise. We always think we're alone in […]

#WritersCoffeeClub Sept 24: Do you write primarily for yourself or for a reader?

Yes. I write nonfiction because I’ve learned something that I think others might find helpful, but in attempting to explain the topic clearly I always learn more. So I benefit too.

I have written some fiction as […]

Do you write primarily for yourself or for a reader?

Er, yes?

I write first to find out what happens. Then I try to get people to read my stories.
