EP359: Mia Kuzniar — Make Something Happen

Sunday Times bestselling author Mia Kuzniar brings some light to the bleak midwinter with her wonderful new novel Midnight in Everwood. She discusses how ballet and the Nutcracker Suite influenced her new book and how she moves between adventure stories for children and fairy tales for adults. She also tells us how an 18-month break between jobs allowed her to write and sell her debut novel.

In this episode you will discover:

How writing lean first drafts can help develop your characters and story.
How to make the most of time off the day job to write a novel.
How to use resources like Pinterest to create mood boards.
