writing about place – Miriam Drori, Author

Blog Hop, Stage 8

The last stop in my blog hop is at the blog of Tim Taylor, who lives near Huddersfield. I had to look up Huddersfield and found it between Manchester and Leeds, in other words, for this ex-Londoner, “Oop north.” Tim is the author of Zeus of Ithome, a novel set in ancient Greece.

I talk about setting a novel where you live, and about setting a novel in a place you’ve never been to. Here.

So here is the complete hop:

18 June	Catriona King	My Route to Publication
20 June	Cathie Dunn	The Background to my Novel
22 June	Sarah Louise Smith	Arranged Marriage
22 June	Jeff Gardiner	Life-changing Decisions
6 July	Nancy Jardine	Closed Communities
11 July	K B Walker	On Emigration from Britain
22 July	Sue Barnard	Who Writes about Place?
8 August	T.E.Taylor	Writing about the place you live in and places you haven’t been to

Blog Hop, Stage 7

Moving a little in a southerly direction, I’m visiting Sue Barnard, author of The Ghostly Father and Nice Girls Don’t. I have read both novels and heartily recommend them.

This time, I’m talking about place in writing. What do you think? Who writes about place?

Here’s the new schedule:

18 June	Catriona King	My Route to Publication
20 June	Cathie Dunn	The Background to my Novel
22 June	Sarah Louise Smith	Arranged Marriage
22 June	Jeff Gardiner	Life-changing Decisions
6 July	Nancy Jardine	Closed Communities
11 July	K B Walker	On Emigration from Britain
22 July	Sue Barnard	Who Writes about Place?
	T.E.Taylor	Writing about the place you live in and places you haven’t been to
