This week Anna and Sam are chatting with Nikki Smith.
Nikki studied English Literature at Birmingham University, before pursuing a career in finance where she worked for companies including an investment bank and a trampoline park. Following a ‘now or never’ moment, she applied for a Curtis Brown Creative course where she started writing her debut novel All In Her Head which was pre-empted by Orion in a two book deal. It went on to be an Amazon bestseller, was nominated for the Guardian ‘Not The Booker Prize’ and has been optioned for TV. Her second novel, Look What You Made Me Do was published on 1 April 2021. She is represented by Sophie Lambert at the C&W agency and lives near Guildford with her husband and two teenage daughters and a cat who thinks she’s a dog.
