My guest this week is Phoebe Morgan, the author of four books and Editorial Director at HarperCollins. Phoebe's first book, The Doll House, was published just five years after she left university, and quickly became a Kindle bestseller. Her books since then have been published in several languages and this year, she got her first US deal for The Wild Girls, a pacy thriller about friendship souring in Botswana (great for you summer holiday!).

Phoebe has written about how it felt to finally get that US deal in her blog, which is full of really honest and useful information about writing and publishing. You can find that here: https://phoebemorganauthor.com

We talk about how editors choose books to publish, how she handles rejection as both a writer and editor and how goal posts for success are always changing. You can find Phoebe's books, along with those of my other guests, at https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/francescasteele
