EP461: Freya Berry — “Be Ambitious.”

Freya Berry’s writing career began as a journalist at Reuters. After a stint in New York reporting on the 2016 US election she left to write her acclaimed first novel, The Dictator’s Wife. With her new novel, The Birdcage Library, Freya has ended up creating a love story and a detective mystery, two things she never planned to write. Freya tells about the challenges of writing two timelines, the importance of a finding a state of half-focus, and digging deeper to make your writing truthful.

And in the extended version for Academy members and podcast Patrons, the Two Marks discuss the three book rule, half focus, writing anti-heroes, and much more!

WE DISCUSS…

  • Getting to know your characters like friends
  • Writing about real people from the footnotes of history
  • And why Freya had to invent her own dictatorship…
