Confessions of a Debut Novelist
Episode 3.7 Jennie Godfrey - The List of Suspicious Things
15 Feb 2024
In this episode of Confessions of a Debut Novelist, I’m talking to Jennie Godfrey about her commercial novel The List of Suspicious Things. We discuss what it means to be a super lead and how it feels emotionally to know your book is primed for success but also what it's like to carry that pressure on your shoulders, how Jennie developed her characters when she realised they were a bit 2D and how to be mindful when you're writing about real life historical events in our recent past.
