In this episode I'm joined by the marvellous, bestselling humorous fiction author Kathleen Whyman. We talk about the writing process, why it’s important to keep on writing, enter competitions and put yourself out there. We discuss writing with humour, writing communities, (we’re both members of the brilliant Mothers Who Write community), deadlines, Jackie Magazine and washing.

It’s a gorgeous chat and if you are considering writing a book, have written a book and are trying to work out the next steps, or simply curious about what goes on behind the scenes of writing a book, this episode is for you.

Kathleen Whyman is a bestselling humorous women’s fiction author and has been shortlisted for the Comedy Women in Print prize.

She writes for all the multi-tasking, mentally-overloaded women who have put themselves on the subs bench for the sake of their family, and are beginning to realise that they don’t have it all – they do it all!

Kathleen also mentors authors and is an events host. She regularly interviews authors, chairs panels and teaches writing with humour workshops. Her fourth book, The Mother of All Comebacks is out now.

Technological Turbulence: The usual sound meddling rogues pop up from time to time...(we'll miss them, when they're gone... or maybe not!)
