Home How I Write Lynne Truss


Lynne Truss

"I spend some time in Greece. I get up at 8am, have yoghurt and fruit and write uninterrupted until 1pm. Then I go to a taverna by the beach and have lunch. There is no Radio 4 and no newspapers – I can get big things done in a short space of time and it pays for itself.”
 

Professional Advice

The writer has to ask several questions, including: what voice do I use? Who’s listening to me? How can I engage that person?
