The Writer Files: Writing, Productivity, Creativity, and Neuroscience
New York Times bestselling author and Knopf Executive Editor, Jenny Jackson, spoke with us about balancing life as an #authormom, editing bestsellers, finding standalone books, and her anticipated second novel, THE SHAMPOO EFFECT. Jenny Jackson is the New York Times bestselling author of Pineapple Street, a graduate of Williams College and the Columbia Publishing Course, and a Vice President and Editorial Director of Fiction at Alfred A. Knopf. Her second novel, The Shampoo Effect (Pamela Dorman Books; June 30), was named a most anticipated book of 2026 by the New York Times, described as “a frothy novel of love, money, sex, and friendship,” [about] “an ambitious young woman [who] insinuates herself into a tight-knit social set, shaking up friendships and marriages in a small seaside town.” New York Times bestselling author Coco Mellors said, “Jackson has a rare knack for capturing the intensity of old friendships and the way love, jealousy, money, and history combust until everyone is behaving (deliciously) badly.” Jenny Jackson is a prominent figure in the publishing world, having edited numerous high-profile works, including Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin, Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan, Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel, and Cormac McCarthy's final books, among others.

This week, we're talking about how to be a “super-ager,” people in their eighties whose memory performs like someone 30 years younger, and why friendships, not fitness, turned out to be their secret weapon. We're also digging into a huge new study on potatoes and type 2 diabetes, showing that eating chips three times a week raises risk by 20%, while swapping them for whole grains cuts risk significantly. Plus, the surprising number of almonds you should eat each day to boost your gut health, and what that means for heart health, antioxidants, blood sugar and inflammation. We'll also look at whether whole almonds or almond butter give you the bigger benefit. And for our wellness trend of the week, we're exploring why reading books for just 30 minutes a day could add nearly two years to your life, and how swapping even a fraction of your scrolling time for reading could transform your health. All that, plus personal updates and the news that The Wellness Scoop is now going twice weekly!

This week, we're tackling some of the biggest listener questions. Do organic foods really make a difference to your health, or is it just clever marketing?

Coco Mellors is the author of Cleopatra and Frankenstein, which was a Sunday Times bestseller and is currently being adapted for television. Her second novel, Blue Sisters, came out in September 20240 and was a Read with Jenna pick. She joins Marrie Stone to talk about it. Coco discusses writing from different POVs, writing compellingly about addiction and substance abuse, how to write sex scenes in all their various forms (and how to trick yourself to write difficult scenes by switching POV), the elegant weave of backstory, and her favorite advice by former professor Rick Moody. They also discuss the difficult heartbreak of the publishing process and the business of being a writer — rejections, MFAs, and the pressure of the next novel.

Oenone's back on good old fashioned British soil so we're all back in the studio together again, and boy does it feel good! Join the girlies for the biggest debate we have probably ever had on the podcast… is the term ‘hot rodent' a compliment or is it derogatory? We also dive into some of the nuance behind the return of Loaded - are we going to welcome erotica in back into our newsagents with open arms? We also get into bookworm mode to discuss one of the most hotly anticipated books of the summer - Coco Mellors' second book Blue Sisters. Don't worry - the conversation is spoiler free for anyone who hasn't read the book yet!Wanna chat? We're on Instagram and TikTok @everythingiscontentpod.

Laufey, the 25-year-old singer-songwriter, has risen to prominence by taking the trials of today's dating world — casual relationships, no labels and seemingly endless swiping on apps — and turning them into timeless love songs.Today, Laufey reads Coco Mellors's essay, “An Anxious Person Tries to Be Chill,” which is about a woman trying to work through her deep-seated relationship anxieties and attachment issues in an on-again, off-again situationship. Laufey says she, too, has been an anxious partner. While she thinks a toxic relationship, like the one in the essay, can make for a great love song, she now knows secure relationships can make beautiful music, too.

Jans Vorspeise lässt Daniel sprachlos zurück. Bestsellerautorin Coco Mellors ist eine Gefahr in der Küche. Und die Mongolei wird zum spannenden Lesereiseland. So sprachlos war Daniel selten: Das vom neuen Nobelpreisträger inspirierte norwegische Weihnachtsgericht, das Jan ihm als literarische Vorspeise serviert, ist fast so dick wie sein 900-Seiten-Roman. Auch in der Bestsellerchallenge gibt es kulinarisch Herausforderndes: In Walter Moers' Roman "Die Insel der Tausend Leuchttürme" gibt es Vampirtintenfische in Eigenblutsauce. Wie sich Ablehnung durch Verlage anfühlt, hat die Bestsellerautorin und Gast der Folge Coco Mellors erfahren. Außerdem reisen Jan und Daniel gedanklich in die Mongolei und greifen im Videospiel "Mario Kart" nach den Sternen. (00:04:27) Jon Fosse: „Der andere Name“ und „Ich ist ein anderer“. Deutsch von Hinrich Schmidt-Henkel. (Rowohlt) (00:05:28) Walter Moers: „Die Insel der Tausend Leuchttürme“ (Penguin) (00:13:13) Adam Soboczynski: „Traumland: Der Westen, der Osten und ich“ (Klett-Cotta) (00:17:40) Abraham Verghese: „Die Träumenden von Madras“.

Coco Mellors is an author living in New York. Her current book, Cleopatra and Frankenstein, is available now. We chat about jet lag or depression, wifi was down on his flight, so Chris watched Yellowstone, is her name real? Dancing with countertop drugs, Carrie Bradshaw read her book, was SATC better than AJLT? A recent holiday in Italy, her vacation style, bicoastal humility, she makes a good case for going to school, her indie sleaze phase, why she stopped partying, her drunk meal of choice, how her relationships have changed, dealing with her onscreen adaptation, the famously underrated man in his forties, who plays Cleo, and her top three dry goods. twitter.com/donetodeath twitter.com/themjeans www.instagram.com/cocomellors Learn more about your ad choices.

Happy Saturday, book club friends! This month, we read Coco Mellors's best-selling debut novel, Cleopatra and Frankenstein. The book follows 24-year-old British artist Cleo, whose chance meeting with a man called Frank (who is some 20 years older than her), changes the course of both of their lives. In Frank, Cleo finds a future where she can paint, be happy and, well, land a green card. When the darkest parts of each of them meet each other, Frank and Cleo are forced to reckon with their demons, what it means to be their best selves and what it is they actually want out of their future. Join us in the all the book chat over on our Insta, @theshamelessbookclub, and our TikTok, @theshamelessbookclub.

Some of her fondest childhood memories involve long afternoons at the library and then reading late into the night. More than ten years ago, she began journaling about the books she read and turned that passion into writing about books. Her first forays were as a guest reviewer on a friend's blog, but she soon realized she wanted to be reviewing and talking about books on a blog of her own. From there, Novel Visits was born. That was in 2016 and, though the learning curve was steep, she loves being a part of the book community. Novel Visits focuses on new novel reviews (print and audio), previews of upcoming releases, and musings on all things bookish.
