“It’s fucking rude not to give the reader a happy ending”
In this episode of A Truth Universally Acknowledged Harriet talks to Author Sarra Manning.
The pair discuss the need for a good romance novel in the world today and why people aren’t as damning towards men, who are at the end of the day, also just writing romance.
After years of writing for both magazines and women’s commercial fiction novels, Sarra has gotten her writing process down to a fine-tuned “don’t mess with this” art, she gives you the recipe for maintaining a solid writing practice.
And Your creative exercise this week is focused on the place you call home, taking inspiration from Sarra’s new book London with Love Harriet is tasking you with writing your own love letter to the place you live.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a woman at the start of a midlife crisis needs a creative project. So writer, journalist and broadcaster Harriet Minter is writing a book….. A “chick-lit” novel (don’t worry, we’ll be discussing that term). A genre that is both critiqued and loved in equal parts.
Join Harriet for the writing journey, as she navigates story arcs, character traits and plots. In every episode, you’ll hear from authors who have been there and done it and friends who can help crack problems that Harriet has been dealing with in her novel each week.
