Description

Kate and Molly welcome our first repeat guest, blogger and new novelist Adam Roberts, to discuss his foray into fiction. Adam shares what made him turn to fiction, why his first attempt didn't work and his own experience working as a ghostwriter as he shares the process of getting this book out into the world. He explains where the original idea came from, what parts of himself he infused into his characters and why creating the cookbook within the book was vital to the plot. Finally he shares some advice for aspiring novelists and a few sneak peaks into what he is working on next. Hosts: Kate Leahy + Molly Stevens + Kristin Donnelly + Andrea NguyenEditor: Abby Cerquitella MentionsAdam RobertsWebsiteInstagramSubstack Newsletter: The Amateur Gourmet Episode 26: Blogs, Books and Broadway with Adam Roberts, the Amateur GourmetCasey ElsassArchestratus Books Visit the Everything Cookbooks Bookshop to purchase a copy of the books mentioned in the showFood Person, by Adam RobertsGive My Swiss Chards to Broadway, by Adam RobertsA Swim in the Pond in the Rain, by George SaundersAlone in the Kitchen with an Eggplant, by Jenni Ferrari-AdlerAfter Taste, by Daria LavelleWhat Can I Bring, by Casey Elsass
