<p class="MsoNormal">We’re thrilled to welcome Marisa Linton to this episode of Mythmakers. A former student from our writing course and a valued member of one of our writers' groups, Marisa recently won the Times Chicken House Fiction Competition for her YA fantasy title The Binding Spell, and she’s now stepping into new territory with the release of her first adult fantasy detective novel, The Circle of Shadows.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As a retired historian, Marisa is the perfect guest to speak to about the blend of historical fact and fiction. Join us as we spend some time in the Edwardian period and delve into the archives of the great universities to answer the questions: is Dark Academia really a genre? And in which fantasy world is it a good place to fight the occult? All this and more in today’s conversation!<br><br>Discover more about Marisa and her written works at <a href="https://www.marisalinton.com/">https://www.marisalinton.com/</a><br><br>(00:05) Marisa Linton<br>(10:52) Edwardian Era and Occult Mysteries<br>(23:31) Exploring Dark Academia and Publishing<br>(29:29) Discovering the Art of Editing<br><br></p>
