EP449: Sue Watson — “You’re Looking for the Answers”

Sue Watson was BBC TV producer until she wrote her first novel and was hooked. Now she’s a USA Today bestselling author and has sold over a million copies, but that success came as a second act in a writing career where she switched from romcoms to thrillers. Sue tells about that pivotal change, her latest thriller The Wedding Day, and how crime writers tell stories that take us to dark places to find difficult truths.

And in the extended version for Academy members and podcast Patrons, the Two Marks discuss how publishers define genres, when things don’t work out with an agent, self confidence, digital first publishers, success in the US, pen names, what happens if you write the same genre for too long and much more!
