Debut author and actor Bryan Moriaty. Bryan’s novel SOUNDS LIKE FUN, a charming gay rom-com, is due to be published by Hodder Books this coming Thursday.
Bryan and I have a great chat about writing acting monologues being the gateway drug that bought him to writing fiction, how NaNoWriMo helped him draft his debut, being selected by the Irish Writers’ Centre Novel Fair, using Grindr as a means of advancing plot and his love of writing in public libraries.…I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did recording it. All the books that we mention are listed in the show notes and you can check them out in the episode specific Novel Experience Bookshop.org shop which is listed in the shownotes. HERE.
