Sadie Jones

What is your earliest childhood memory? Seeing the platforms and flares going by.

What makes you happy? Achieving an absolutely perfect life balance, manifested in a single day, when the weather is just right.

When did you decide you wanted to be a writer? I don’t remember deciding, I just wrote, but I did decide to try and make money out of it when I was twenty-two, and got an agent.

What are you reading at the moment? The Information Officer, by Mark Mills.

What advice would you give to a first time writer? Work as much as you can, and don’t be distracted by either value judgements or expectations, if you can possibly help it.

What is your guiltiest pleasure? All my pleasures are guilty.

How do you relax? Art, movies, riding, walking – anything that isn’t sitting at my desk.

What is your favourite book? Ever?? …I haven’t read it yet.

What is the most important thing life has taught you? If I can, to find reward and joy in the present, not some imagined future.

Sadie Jones’ debut novel is The Outcast.

    Nondescript “authors” having nothing original or interesting to say about anything…the brave new “global” world. The BBC-Orwelliana.
