Ep. 59 - Cherie Jones

Cherie Jones' debut novel ‘How the One-Armed Sister Sweeps Her House‘ has been receiving rave reviews from the likes of Bernardine Evaristo, who called it "A hard-hitting and unflinching novel from a bold new writer". Her short stories have variously been published in PANK, Cadenza, Eclectica, The Feminist Wire and broadcast on BBC Radio 4. She’s a fellowship awardee of the Vermont Studio Centre and completed her MA with distinction at Sheffield Hallam University, where she was awarded the Archie Markham Award and the A.M Heath prize. We chat to Cherie to hear how she juggles her day job as a lawyer with writing (clue: she gets up VERY early!) and hear about her route to publishing. We also talk about how her stories begin with one character's voice speaking to her, and hear about why she wanted to write such a hard-hitting novel.Links:Buy How the One Armed Sister Sweeps Her HouseVisit Cherie's websiteFollow Cherie on TwitterWatch our video panel Page One Sessions as we discuss writing with great authors: https://youtu.be/gmE6iCDYn-sThe Page One Podcast is brought to you by Write Gear, creators of Page One - the Writer's Notebook.
