Ep. 167 - Veronica Henry on moving from writing for TV to becoming a bestselling author and why deadlines are helpful


Listen Later

Veronica Henry started her writing career in radio television, writing for shows such as The Archers, Heartbeat and Holby City, before she decided to try her hand at writing novels. It worked out pretty well - she is now a bestselling author who has written over twenty novels. Her latest novel, Thirty Days in Paris, is out now.


We had a fun chat with Veronica, hearing how she made her start in the creative world doing sound effects for TV shows, and becoming a script editor on the legendary British soap, Crossroads. She tells us why she made the move from TV to writing novels, how she deals with notes and suggestions from others, and why deadlines are helpful to her writing.
