EP451: Scarlett Brade — “Take Those First Steps”

Scarlett Brade was born in London, but as a child she spent her summers in Toronto where she fell in love with reading. She self-published her first novel aged twenty-three, but then decided to experience life a little more before returning with her amazing new thriller The Hive, about a chilling murder live-streamed on Instagram. Get inspired by Scarlett’s positive attitude to her life and work and her journey from a six-year-old reading Harry Potter to acclaimed novelist.

And in the extended version for Academy members and podcast Patrons, the Two Marks discuss if it’s essential to be an author on social media, life pivot moments, the importance of friendship groups and mentors, how to generate hooks and high concepts and much more!
