Carol’s input into my novel ‘The Children’s House’ (Penguin Random 2018) was profoundly important. She understood exactly what I was trying to achieve – perhaps better than I understood it myself – and how and where I was failing in that aim. Like the very best therapists, Carol knows exactly how far to push, how much to challenge, and how to support you to make your work the best it can possibly be.

When working with a writer I seek harmony between vision and craft. Sometimes craft is finally executed but if there is no story heart it falls short of the mark. On the other hand vision without craft cannot achieve its aim either.

This is why I like to engage with a writer as well as a manuscript. Working with a writer in this way requires active listening. I need to suspend my own certainty about writing form. I need to hear what the writer is trying to do.

“I worked with Carol on my second novel, Out of Place during a Professional Development Week at Varuna. She connected with the narrative immediately – skirted my clumsy attempts to make the novel fit my originally intended feminist theme and brought it back in line with the feelings that had given rise to it in the first place. If the proof is in the final work, certainly her advice was spot-on in that I find that the book is attracting as much comment and attention from men as it is from women. Carol has the uncanny knack of being able to get to the core of the story and reflect that central motif back to the writer.”
