Writing about writing

March 2nd, 2010 by Justine

I’ve just done an interview for Aesthetica magazine (not sure which edition the piece will be in yet), a rather funky culture and arts publication. I have to come clean here and admit I’d never heard of it, but it’s the first piece of publicity that actually focuses on the novel and the writing of it. The questions were incredibly thoughtful and probing and it was a complete delight to realise that someone has not only read and loved my novel, but has put such thought into writing about it.

I am such a lucky girl.

Though I really should get some decent author photos taken. Pointing the photographic departments of various magazines towards my Flickr pages to use my photos is all very well, but I’m sure people will soon tire of seeing me lurking in long grass and larking about in pigtails and require something rather more staid and serious.

Or maybe they won’t.

Hopefully they won’t.
