EP446: Katy Brent — “Doing Something Meaningful”

Katy Brent is an award-winning journalist whose debut novel How To Kill Men and Get Away With It is perfect for fans of How To Kill Your Family and Killing Eve. Katy tells us how the novel evolved from a fun idea to something that drew on the Me Too movement to and the anger around the victim blaming of abused women. Katy talks about her journey from writing articles in lockdown to writing a provocative novel that tackles difficult issues with satire and humour.

And in the extended version for Academy members and podcast Patrons, the Two Marks discuss provocative titles, swearing and strong language, if writers really need an agent, and much more! Warning: the language in this week’s extended version gets very strong!

WE DISCUSS…

  • Writing a serial killer the reader can root for
  • Being fearless and pushing boundaries
  • And getting a book deal without an agent…
