Emma Rowley on life as a ghostwriter - and her move into fiction

I took Emma Rowley’s You Can Trust Me away on holiday to Wales and I gulped it down in one sitting. It’s a really smart, grabby thriller about a ghostwriter who spends a week at the luxurious home of an influencer whose autobiography she is meant to be writing - only for things to take a very dark turn. It’s a great read, and I knew I had to speak to Emma about it - not least as she herself has been a ghostwriter. We chatted late last year and I loved hearing about that experience, her move into fiction, how she combined journalism with publishing - and how our lockdown living has affected her creativity. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. By the book here: amzn.to/2FqHteD Twitter: @emma_rowley / @aliceazania Instagram: @emmacharlotterowley / @aliceazania
