Ep478 — Mira V Shah — “Healing Through Writing.”

Mira V Shah is a British-African-Indian author and legal writer who lives in North London with her husband, three good dogs and one mediocre cat. She studied History at the University of Warwick before practising as a City lawyer. During the pandemic, Mira wrote her first ever novel, HER, a psychological drama, which explores themes of female friendship, flawed perception, trauma and race. Mira tells about writing the novel during lockdown, telling the story from two different perspectives, and how she’s carved out time to write.

And in the extended version for Academy members and podcast Patrons, the Two Marks discuss healing through writing, launch days, managing the expectations of debut authors, dedicated writing days and much more!
