In this episode of Confessions of a Debut Novelist, I’m talking to Heather Parry about her gothic horror Orpheus Builds a Girl. Heather has been involved in the literary scene for years but has had quite a meandering and frustrating route to getting her first novel published which we talk about in this episode, also how she took inspiration from a true story and made it her own, and how she thought carefully about language choice and musicality when creating distinctive first person narration.Confessions of a Debut Novelist Bookshop*Buy Orpheus Builds a Girl: https://uk.bookshop.org/a/10990/9781913547400Follow Heather on Twitter: @HeatherParryUKhttps://heatherparry.co.ukExtra Teeth Magazine: https://www.extrateeth.co.ukFollow Chloe on Twitter: @clotimmsBuy Chloe's debut novel The Seawomen: https://linktr.ee/chloetimmschloetimms.co.uk *affiliate link - if you buy books linked to the Bookshop.org site, I may earn a commission.
