All the other kids would go up on stage, collect a giant atlas or a special encyclopedia. I spend my vouchers on as many Stephen King paperbacks as I could. Have you ever met him? No, I was so loved to meet him. I think he's like, I have so many heroes, but he's my number one hero. And I think I'm a writer because of him.
I think me disappearing inside of his stories when I was a little girl is what made me fall in love with stories so much. So, no, I think I owe him so many things, but also his book on writing. That's my go to.
You know, if I'm having a badly behaved book, I have no idea how many times I have read the book, as in read the physical book, but also listen to the audio book because he narrates it himself. So I feel like sometimes Stephen King is in my shed with me.
guiding me if i get stuck reminding me that i have written a few books before and of course we can write another one and this is how we do it so um no there've been lots of authors and there are authors around you know who every year i'm so excited to read their books yeah um lisa jewel is a big favorite of mine we share an agent so one of the best perks of my job now is that i get sent her books
early every year I'm like so excited for that I mean that's enough for me to want to carry on being an author forever so I get to read her books early every year that's awesome so no I'm a huge fan of lots of authors and I read a lot still Frida also told me that she like she was listening at the time of the interview she was listening to a Stephen King book
Yes, and I listened to Holly quite recently as well.
He had a book called Holly.
Yes, yeah, which was fantastic. I think audiobooks these days have come on in such an incredible way. The Beautiful Ugly audiobook has all these amazing sound effects in it.
That really bring the story to life. So there's a crackle of a walkie-talkie or there are the sounds of the waves.
the sound effects and everything it is either exactly what you thought it what you pictured for the physical book when you're reading it um or it'll change it a little bit and so then you have like an even better idea because of the sound effects that are in an audiobook it's really fun isn't it and i just think again anything that's getting people into reading and stories in whatever format is yeah it's fantastic and richard armitage narrates this one you know i i would forget listening to it that it was it was just him doing about 20 different voices
So we've got Richard Armitage and we've got Tuppence Middleton. But Richard in all of his chapters, you'll hear about 10 different versions. Richard can be a 40 year old man. He can be an elderly woman from Scotland. He can be the East End pub landlord. And I was like, how is he doing? He sounds like he's having such fun in it. So it was a real joy to listen to.
And I think readers are going to enjoy that version, too.
good i did try to get it before oh i didn't try to get it i went to go download it um but it wasn't out yet because i forgot that today's publication day yeah so it's like okay but reading it just reading it i think is also i i mean that's my favorite way of reading that because then you get your own version don't you yeah you picture it all in in your own head yes how it's going to look and who they are and what they sound like and
Yeah, I think it probably was. I mean, when people ask me, you know, what should I do if I want to become a writer? I always say read a lot, write a lot and never give up because if you don't give up, you can't fail. And I think that's probably, you know, what I was telling myself at the time during those almost 10 years of keep writing books and keep collecting the rejection letters.
So yeah, I think the best piece of advice I did get was you can do better.
Neither. Neither? I don't drink hot drinks.
There's iced coffee and iced tea. Ooh. Neither? Okay. No. I don't know why. I think I'm a bit of a child in that way too.
Something fizzy.
Okay. I think it will taste the same, doesn't it?
I did not know this.
