The Versatile Writer

Recently I was able to interview author and astronomer Mark Thompson to discuss one of his books that I reviewed last year. 101 Facts You Didn't Know About Space, published by White Owl Books was as informative as it was entertaining.

I interviewed Mark to find out about his thoughts on writing, astronomy, and some non-fiction writing tips plus found out a few extra titbits including a world record break attempt due in September and that Mark cannot write while wearing slippers!

Listen in and share your thoughts on the podcast's face book page - details in the show notes below.

This week's episode discusses the book, The Legacy of Anne Frank, by Gillian Walnes Perry MBE, and published by Pen and Sword Books.

I reviewed her book when it was first released in August 2019, and recently organised an interview with her through the publisher. This is the interview, via Zoom, in which we cover Gillian's connection to The Anne Frank Museum, and the legacy Anne, herself, left the world.

Part 1 in a two-parter.

While you may not consider writers' block to be a real thing, it affects thousands of writers all across the globe and has done since before the name was even coined in 1945.

The Versatile Writer looks at famous writers it's affected to various online outlets who are dubious it even exists and looks at many ways to kickstart your writing again, using both tough-love and self care.
