Penny 『The BookNerd』(Sawako-core era)

So like, I am loving your Murder Most Unladylike series! I am new to your books, so I don’t know that much, and I have only read three of them in a random order cos they’re from the library (Death sets sail, a spoonful of murder, top marks for murder). Anyway I wanted to say, can you give any advice for me on writing stories? I want to be an author when I’m older and I write stories a lot.

Robin Stevens Thank you so much! I'm really glad you're enjoying them!

I think the only advice I can give that applies to everyone is make sure you're reading a lot, and writing a lot! When you read, you'll see what other people are doing with stories, and when you write, you'll practice telling stories yourself. It's all about practice and comfort, so immerse yourself in stories!
