Why Writers Need to Show Up: Hannah Murray on Books, Broadcasting & Promotion


Listen Later

Hi, I'm Wayne Kelly, a writer, podcast host and coach. I love to help writers develop their skills and get their books and stories out into the world.

In this episode, I’m joined by the brilliant Hannah Murray – a seasoned radio and TV presenter, passionate book lover, and co-host of the Marbella with Him and Her podcast. Based in Marbella, Spain, Hannah brings a wealth of experience from over two decades in broadcasting, including her popular book show on Talk Radio Europe and her regular appearances on Good Morning Spain TV.

We had a fascinating and wide-ranging chat covering:

  • How Hannah built a career in radio and TV after moving to Spain.
  • Her love of books, reading, and interviewing writers from all over the world.
  • Lessons learned from interviewing major authors like Jilly Cooper, James Patterson, and Jeffrey Archer.
  • Practical advice for writers who want to promote themselves and their books effectively.
  • Insights into writing, creativity, and the importance of finishing that all-important first draft.

The Book That Saved Her Life
Hannah chose Down Under by Bill Bryson – a funny and vivid travel memoir that deepened her love for travel and great storytelling.
