EP448: Jonathan Whitelaw — “Turn The Idea on its Head.”

Jonathan Whitelaw started out as a journalist, writing darkly satirical fiction on his commute to work. Jonathan tells us how he went from thinking that he could never write a crime novel, to creating a new cosy crime series with The Bingo Hall Detectives and The Village Hall Vendetta featuring a son-in-law and mother-in-law crime solving duo!

And in the extended version for Academy members and podcast Patrons, the Two Marks discuss establishing characters, comparing yourself to other writers, turning points in your writing career, celebrating milestones, and much more!

WE DISCUSS…

  • Subverting tropes
  • Establishing characters in the first chapter
  • And the role that Star Wars figures played in Jonathan’s writing career…
