A Conversation with Louise Penny

A writing tip, book recommendation, and other great insights from Louise that were not covered in our on-air interview, which you can WATCH or LISTEN to now!

For any aspiring writers out there, would you please share a short bit of writing advice?
Having suffered from 5 years of writer’s block trying to write a book that would astonish and impress others, I finally realized I needed to write just for myself. So that’s what I always suggest to emerging writers – write a book you would read.

What is the last book you raved about and what did you love about it?
Sinclair Lewis – It Can’t Happen Here. About a journalist fighting a dangerous candidate who wins votes by twisting facts, magnifying and manufacturing resentments, infecting the hearts and minds of people with lies while accusing the press of mistruths. It was written in 1935… It is a breathtaking book. It can’t happen here…?

What can you tell us about your work-in-progress?
