BRANFORD BOASE AWARD SHORTLIST INTERVIEWS

All the shortlisted authors and their editors were asked to answer a few questions about their inspirations, what they found difficult and the editorial process. It's fascinating to read about the different experiences everyone had whilst writing their debut books and what the editors contributed to that process. It really highlights the vital role of an editor in guiding the writer - especially when it's the writer's first book. Take a look at the interviews.
