Summary
Liz Nugent is an Irish Book Award Winner, whose 4th Novel is 'Our Little Cruelties', which is out right now.
She came on the show back in 2018 to take us through a day writing her 3rd novel 'Skin Deep'.
After working as a stage manager, running all over the place in a theatre, then being shackled to the desk writing for soap operas, Liz Nugent became bored with dull, desk-driven office work, and became an author. Well... became an author over 6 years of writing her first book 'Unravelling Oliver'. It won an Irish Book Award, became a bestseller and gave her a career of being a proper writer.
If you like the chat, flick back in your podcast feeds to her full episode from back in November 2018.
