Ep483 — LM Chilton — “Be a Bit Cheeky.”

L.M. Chilton worked as a journalist for The Times, The Mirror and Metro and TV shows like This Morning, The One Show and Loose Women. His debut novel Don’t Swipe Right was inspired by years of online dating (the dating part of the story, we hasten to add, not the serial killing bits…) and having worked in the media he took everything he had learned to get his book featured in the national press and on TV!

And in the extended version for Academy members and podcast Patrons, the Two Marks discuss openings, first lines, visualising success and much more!

WE DISCUSS…

Changing titles and openings
How to get your book on TV!
And why you shouldn’t set a sex scene in a police station…
