Diversity Matters: A new blog series

Tracy

This week I've started a new series called, Diversity Matters, and in my first post, Phil Earle, discusses his book Being Billy and writing gritty teenage fiction.

Phil Earle - 'During writing I became really fixated on the truth of Billy’s story, of not sugar-coating the pill if you like. As an avid reader of young adult fiction I like to be told how it is. I don’t want the author to hold my hand and tell me it’s all going to be alright, as that strips the tension from the story.'

I found myself agreeing with Phil Earle's comments all the way, Tracy.

Glad you liked the post Dwight. I've posted your comment on the blog because I like my guest authors etc to see any comments when possible.

Thanks, I should have thought of that myself.
