Sarah and Chris discuss this year's Booker Longlist and their progress with it at this early stage. They also discuss what they've been reading recently and what they've read in the past year fantasy-wise. PS: Unbelievably, what Sarah was saying was true - in 1977, the chair of judges, Philip Larkin, threatened to jump out of a window if Paul Scott's Staying On didn't win the Booker!

Très chers lecteurs et écouteurs, Notre sujet du jour portera sur une tétralogie : Ki et Vandien écrite par Megan Lindholm aussi connue sous le nom de plume Robin Hobb. De nombreuses fois éditée, j'ai opté pour l'intégrale de Mnémos afin de me plonger dans cette saga. Bonne écoute de ce podcast!
À travers des enregistrements spontanés, je vous invite à explorer avec moi mon univers créatif, autour de l'élaboration de mes projets d'écriture. Pas à pas, je partage avec vous mes humeurs, mes réflexions, les problématiques que je rencontre, les questions et les doutes qui m'assaillent, les idées fulgurantes qui me traversent. Le but de ce podcast : vous faire vivre mon processus créatif en train de se faire, en passant par toutes les étapes de la création d'un livre. Si vous écrivez vous-même ou que vous êtes intéressés par les secrets de fabrication, vous pourrez donc vous y retrouver et piocher quelques conseils, des pistes de travail et de réflexion, voire même des sources d'inspiration. Dans cet épisode, je vous parle de fantasy, de création d'univers, d'imagination, de la perte de documents, de planification, de chapitrage, de début de roman, de bêta-lecteurs, de biographie de personnages, de méthode de travail, de jardinier et d'architecte, de retroplanning et de bien d'autres choses !
