Jamie Fewery, author of OUR LIFE IN A DAY, THE WAY BACK and the just about to be published THE BRINK a rom-com told in reverse about a couple on the brink of divorce.
Jamie chats about:
- Being part of the marketing team who made Fifty Shades of Grey go stratospheric, and what it taught him about being published himself
- How the first novel he went on submission with wasn’t the book he first published but was what got him a publisher
- Being a man who writes about relationships in a market and how those books are his preference too
His experience of changing publishers for his third novel
