#197: Eleanor Moran/Kate Ruby, TV producer and novelist

Rachel and Simon speak to Eleanor Moran, a television producer and novelist. Eleanor started her career at the BBC as a script editor before becoming an executive producer; she has worked on shows including "Watership Down", "The Girl Before" and "The Flatshare". She balances her work in television alongside writing fiction. Eleanor published her debut novel, "Stick Or Twist", in 2009, followed by five more under own name; in 2022 she began publishing domestic noir under the pseudonym Kate Ruby. "Tell Me Your Lies" was a Richard and Judy Book Club pick the same year and is currently being adapted for television. "Everything You Have", published in 2024, is already under option. We spoke to Eleanor about her work in television and film, her fiction, including her decision to publish some of it under a pseudonym, and the release of "Everything You Have". “Always Take Notes: Advice From Some Of The World’s Greatest Writers” - a book drawing on our podcast interviews - is published by Ithaka Press.
