EP320: Nadine Matheson — A Little Bit of Dismemberment

Nadine Matheson’s debut thriller The Jigsaw Man has been hailed as one of the event debuts of the year. But this was far from an overnight success. Nadine’s writing journey is one from competition wins, to NanoWriMo, to self-publishing, to a six-publisher auction and the publication of her bestselling debut The Jigsaw Man and a TV option. Nadine tells us the lessons she learned along the way, and how she worked around her career as a Criminal Solicitor.

In this episode you will discover:

How writing about where you live can make a difference.
Lessons learned from self-publishing and NanoWriMo.
And tips for managing a work-writing balance.
