Kate Mosse

My guest this week is Kate Mosse, world-famous, bestselling author - and the Founder Director of the Women’s Prize For Fiction, which is awarded on Wednesday 5 June. I LOVED her. We talk about how she quit her high-powered job to pursue writing, why her husband took her surname when they had children, getting confused with Kate Moss (no “e”), writing her most recent book The Burning Chambers (which came out in paperback earlier this year) - and how she set up the Women’s Prize for Fiction in 1996 in response to an all-male Booker Prize shortlist. She also reveals the one piece of advice she’d give to any aspiring writer.

The Sunday Salon is a podcast celebrating brilliant books and the women who write them, hosted by journalist Alice-Azania Jarvis. Each week she chats to an inspiring female author about her work, her career, how she writes, what she reads and everything in between. This is not some academic textual analysis – it’s about finding the stories behind the stories. Tune in each Sunday to hear from guests including Isabel Allende, Jessie Burton, Holly Bourne, Diana Evans, Elizabeth Day, Nimco Ali and Sophie Kinsella. Edited by Chelsey Moore.
