EP468: Sarah Moorhead — “Grit in the Oyster”

Sarah Moorhead returns to the podcast with The Treatment, her extraordinary new novel that tackles issues of justice and revenge with compassion and heart. She reveals how she got back into writing after being dropped by her publisher and agent, and how being an idealist fuels her desire to keep telling great stories whatever it takes.

And in the extended version for Academy members and podcast Patrons, Sarah answer listener questions on resilience, self-belief, plotting, structure, why learning to write is like learning to drive and much more!

WE DISCUSS…

How to write about big issues without getting preachy…
How Sarah is influenced by Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs…
And, most crucially, we reveal our favourite chocolates in a packet of Revels…
