Episode Synopsis

Irish writer and editor Rebecca O’Connor gave a special master class for us on 13 October 2019 in Amsterdam.
The class focused on craft in O’Connor’s novel He Is Mine and I Have No Other  and also dipped into her poetry collection We’ll Sing Blackbird as well as  her work as editor of the acclaimed literary magazine The Moth.
Some of the specific topics covered were:

the importance of setting,
the challenges of capturing a teenage voice,
the charms of the epistolary novel,
the value of a good beta reader,
why you shouldn’t give up on that ‘drawer novel’ just yet, and
some tips for those who’d like to see their work published in The Moth.
