Since 2019, Hattie Crisell has produced and hosted the beloved podcast In Writing with Hattie Crisell, interviewing some of our best-loved authors about how they write, why they write, and what they can teach us about doing it better. Now she’s brought the concept to a book, featuring contributions from the likes of James Acaster, Ayọ̀bámi Adébáyọ̀, Wendy Cope, Emily St. John Mandel, David Nicholls, Graham Norton, Maggie O'Farrell, Kiley Reid, Jon Ronson, Michael Rosen, George Saunders, David Sedaris, Curtis Sittenfeld, Brandon Taylor, and many more.

In these intimate and frank conversations, Crisell uncovers the mysteries of the creative process, asking: Where do ideas come from? How do stories find their shape? What happens when confidence falters or the work fails – and what does success look like?

Crisell will be in conversation with Nell Frizzell (The Panic Years, Square One, Holding the Baby, Cuckoo).
