In this episode of Confessions of a Debut Novelist, I’m talking to Natalie aka N.A. Cooper about her thriller Ripple Effect. I was so inspired hearing Natalie’s journey to publication. She’s done no courses or creative writing classes, encouragement came solely from her family and her own passion to keep going. She researched indie publishers herself online and ended up with a three book deal with Cambridge based Bloodhound Books. We also talk about her tips for adding suspense and battling perfectionism in those early drafts.Confessions of a Debut Novelist Bookshop*Buy Ripple Effect: https://amzn.eu/iwW2UM9Buy Unravelling Alice: https://uk.bookshop.org/a/10990/9781504080101Follow Natalie on Twitter: @NACooperAuthorFollow Chloe on Twitter: @clotimmsBuy Chloe's debut novel The Seawomen: https://linktr.ee/chloetimmshttps://www.chloetimms.co.uk*affiliate link - if you buy books linked to the Bookshop.org site, I may earn a commission.
