One of Alex Whiteley's favourite things to do is to take a walk around inside the head of a creative. Today's episode is a real treat as Alex is speaking to author Hazel Meredith-Lloyd who has created the comedy novel 'Orange' and the children's version 'Natalie Hedgerow and the Orange Alien.'
Alex and Hazel discuss the stunning and collaborative writers community in Shrewsbury. We have already featured some fine examples of these folks on this show before. A perfect example mentioned directly in this audio is Violet Fenn who currently has books hitting the heights of Amazon's bestsellers. It's amazing how much advice and appreciation writers offer each other in this town and it deserves it's mention here.
How are characters, stories and content created? and more importantly curated in a short novel? Alex and Hazel talk about the difficulties of creating compact content. Of course Alex goes on a tangent about Rick and Morty...it's like he's obsessed with the show!
