Taylor Jenkins Reid
07/21/21 • 65 min
What's not to love about the writing of Taylor Jenkins Reid? She had us long before Daisy Jones & The Six with her dreamy depictions of the drama of life and we both happily settled in for the 80s surfer celebrity vibe she created for her latest, Malibu Rising. So much to unpick with Taylor, from how much real life gets blended into her stories, the TV adaptations that are imminent, how confident she feels now in her writing and the unexpected complications of the recurring character of Mick Riva. We hope you love this chat as much as we did and that these continue to inspire to read something new! Let us know, email us [email protected]

Zakiya Dalila Harris
The Other Black Girl is a searing account of the publishing world, as told by, well, there's a clue in the title... Actually there are a number of Black women telling their stories in this thriller of a read, which happens to be Zakiya's debut as a fiction author. She joins Phil and Natalie from her home in Brooklyn, NYC to explain how her novel has comparable themes to movies such as Get Out, The Devil Wears Prada and The Stepford Wives. Competitiveness in the workplace is another theme, as is why some women can be so mean to each other. Oh, and did we mention MC Hammer? Phil does, listen to the end to find out more...

Clare Mackintosh
The art of the crime thriller is something Clare Mackintosh knows well, having written a bunch of brilliant page-turners. As well as sharing what she learned from her time in the police force, where unexpectedly Clare and Natalie crossed paths in Oxford - all above aboard, honest - she also details how to keep readers guessing and why it can be so good to ask for help when researching. When it comes to taking a research trip vs a holiday though, Clare tells it like it is. We'd expect nothing less from one of our finest authors, championed by Phil from the start.
