In this episode of Confessions of a Debut Novelist, I’m talking to Jyoti Patel about her contemporary novel The Things That We Lost. In this episode we talk about how Jyoti’s Merky Books prize win lead to publication, the importance of taking yourself seriously as a writer and how small tweaks to dialogue and using slang gave authenticity to her teenage protagonist.
