Scott Kershaw has had an interesting route to being published. Leaving school with few qualifications, he signed up as a mature student in college. Whilst there, his work was spotted by the Head of Writing at Hull University, and despite having no A Levels or even filling in a UCAS application, he was offered a place and graduated with a First Class Degree in Creative Writing.
It's all led to his debut, 'The Game'. It follows five strangers from across the globe who receive a warning that their most loved person is in danger, and the only way to save them is to play... the game.
We discuss how he worked on the idea with his agent, also how he's managed to write in between renovating a house, and how music changes his writing mood.
PLUS, you can hear the first full chapter of 'The Game' audiobook at the end of the show.
