RHLSTP Book Club #146 - Close Knit - Richard talks to best selling author Jenny Colgan about what it's like to make a million pounds for your first book, the incredible staying power of the term chick-lit, why she wanted to write a book about a knitting circle, how the book doesn’t have that much knitting in it, taking a flying lesson as research, but why you don’t need to worry too much about research when you’re writing, the snobbery surrounding popular fiction and why it’s a much more complex discipline than some imagine, the effect of lockdown on the young and the staying power of schoolday anxieties. Also writing for Doctor Who and why men should read Jenny’s funny and fabulous books. Also why writers shouldn’t assume they will be an overnight sensation (but it is possible).
