198: Drawing on your life experience - with Gillian Jackson


Listen Later

Every so often an interview will take a truly unexpected direction. That's the case this week as we speak to prolific author Gillian Jackson in her first ever podcast appearance. Gillian principally writes psychological fiction, which to some extent draws on her professional experiences as a therapeutic counsellor working with Victim Support. But as she reveals in this startling interview, she also draws on some difficult experiences of her own. He most recent novel, Ask Laura, marks a departure for Gillian into women's fiction, but all her work is imbued with humanity and empathy.


Also this week, Adrian and Rebecca discuss the results of the Written Word Media Survey of independent authors which reveals a growing antipathy towards paid advertising platforms like Facebook and Amazon Ads. So what's the alternative?
