EP374: Nina De Gramont — Searching for Agatha Christie

Nina De Gramont takes on her most ambitious book yet with The Christie Affair, which explores what might have happened to Agatha Christie when she disappeared for 11 days in 1926. Nina takes us through the process of taking a real-life mystery and creating a fiction around it, mixing drama with research, and writing for a fanbase that has very exacting expectations.

In this episode you will discover:

Choosing a point of view when writing about real events.
Researching remotely.
And the pros and cons of writing for Marvel.
