In this episode of Confessions of a Debut Novelist, I’m talking to Kerry Downes about his contemporary novel That Time Everything Was On Fire. In this episode we discuss why she wrote to feel seen and control the narrative when she was going through IVF, how to make both characters in a dual narrative equally important and to navigate restructuring a novel when you're working with a timeline constraint.Confessions of a Debut Novelist Bookshop*Buy That Time Everything Was On Fire: https://uk.bookshop.org/a/10990/9780008665746Follow Kerry: @kerrydownesFollow Chloe on Twitter: @clotimmsBuy Chloe's debut novel The Seawomen: https://linktr.ee/chloetimmschloetimms.co.uk Hosted on Acast.
