Sarah has written and self-published 2 books, her latest of which won her an award. This is a memoir called Marching to a Different Beat, and is an invaluable book for understanding one person's lived experience of neurodiversity.

Emma-Claire Wilson is an author of emotional commercial and book club fiction. She writes âto make sense of the worldâ, and loves nothing more than tackling tough subjects and issues that affect her readers on a daily basis.
When she is not writing fiction, she enjoys exercising her brain muscles with freelance copywriting, coaching other writers or writing articles for The Glass House Online Magazine.
Her debut, This Child of Mine, although not autobiographical, was based on personal experiences and resulted in a highly emotional piece of fiction that secured her representation with Kate Nash Literary Agency.
After almost 20 years living on the continent, she returned to the UK with her husband, two daughters and rescue dog, Pip. Now, trying hard to acclimatise to the UK weather, you will mostly find her snuggled under a blanket; sometimes dreaming of her next holiday in the sun but mostly reading stories that affect her or writing books she hopes will affect others.
This Child of Mine : Debut : Published July 2023 with Avon HC.
Genre: Womens Commercial Fiction â Emotional Family Drama (It's a tearjerker, folks!)

Neurodiversity is becoming more of a thing in character development since Eleanor Oliphant appeared in May 2017. Since then I've read a few books that have handled neurodivergent characters well - and many that have not. Even with my level of expertise I would still say that I don't fully know neurodiversity - because the reality is, there are many types of neurodiversity. However, it appears that some writers have chosen to write the stereotypical character with no social skills. This happens, sure, but most people who are neurodiverse are able to mask their traits and appear to have social skills of what's referred to as neurotypical.
It's important, then, that we understand neurodiversity when we write ND characters so that we represent them appropriately. In this episode I introduce you to what neurodiversity is, and what it is not.If you would like to show your love for the podcast, please consider buying me a coffee through BuyMeACoffee.com.

What is an author's voice? And is it the same as a character's voice? In this episode I describe both types of voice, and I offer some tips on how to help develop your voice - one important thing to remember, though, our voice evolves over time. It can't be forced, and once we've found it, it's unlikely to be fixed.

Part of the reality of being rejected - or not hearing anything from agents - is that we compare ourselves to others. It's natural to do that. We might also find ourselves getting a little envious of others and their successes. In this episode we delve into this very real, and yet seldom talked about, topic of the rejection experience. As you'd expect, I give you some actionable steps to help when comparisonitis takes you on, and envy rears its head.

Do you ever find yourself thinking negatively about your writing? In this episode I share an approach for catching yourself out, understanding your limiting believes, and how to play with an alternative way of thinking to turn things around for yourself.
I mention a book that I believe it worth reading - The Big Leap by Gaye Hendricks. It's a book that definitely did a lot to change my thinking, so it comes highly recommended from me.
I also mention Denise Duffield Thomas - you can buy her books too, and probably a good one to start with is Get Rich Lucky Bitch.If you would like to show your love for the podcast, please consider buying me a coffee through BuyMeACoffee.com.

Louise Morrish is a historical fiction writer and librarian from Hampshire. She writes stories inspired by the lives of women in the past, who achieved extraordinary things, but whom history has forgotten.
Her debut novel, Operation Moonlight, won the Penguin Random House First Novel competition in 2019, and was published by Penguin Michael Joseph in 2022. Operation Moonlight is inspired by the female secret agents of the Special Operations Executive, whose brave exploits helped win World War II. Passionate about books, Louise also loves to trail run.
She is currently under contract to write two more historical novels for Penguin Michael Joseph. These next two are set in World War One, and are inspired by real women whom history has forgotten. âWomen of Warâ will be published this September, and is inspired by three real women who achieved incredible things in WW1. The first, Dorothy Lawrence, was a young woman determined to become a journalist, who disguised herself as a soldier and fought for ten days at the front. The other two are doctors - Dr Louisa Garret Anderson and Dr Flora Murray â who ran pioneering, all-female-run military hospitals in France and England.
As someone who is passionate about books, Lou runs a number of bookclubs, and she supports Goldfinch Books in Alton in Hampshire with their author events. https://www.goldfinch-books.com/If you would like to show your love for the podcast, please consider buying me a coffee through BuyMeACoffee.com.
