Ali Jones is talking to our best-loved creatives about how they caught their breaks. This week Ali chats to author, playwright and poet, Kiran Millwood Hargrave. Kiran is best known for her award-winning children's fiction which includes her debut novel The Girl of Ink & Stars, Leila and the Blue Fox and The Island At The End of Everything. Her debut book for adults, The Mercies, was subject to a 13-way auction and called ‘unquestionably the book of the 2018 London Book Fair’ by The Bookseller.
Kiran tells Ali how she's received the best and worst news on trains, how she knows when an idea is a winner, and why burnout is a real thing.
