On this episode I chat with Ashley Hickson-Lovence about his debut novel, THE 392. We talk form, style & place, from growing up in Hackney to thinking about your audience. Ashley takes us through the full process of writing his novel, chats about his experiences as a football referee, and explains his number one writing rule for this book: no boring bits.
