Stephen Leather on the BBC

Posted by on Mar 5, 2013 in In The Press | Comments Off on Stephen Leather on the BBC

Writer Going To Jail Originally published on the BBC, February 2004 As Stephen Leather’s latest novel, Hard Landing, is set in a prison, he was testing his material on possibly the toughest audience of all.

This is not a first for writing and books: there’s a great deal of interest in reading and creative writing in Britain’s prisons and the outside world occasionally gets a glimpse of the inside. Writers and theatre groups occasionally hold workshops in prisons. BBC Radio 4’s monthly show, Book Club, broadcast its programme about...

British Writers Not Only Write About, But Also Act Like Children Originally Posted in Industry News Corp, January 8, 2013 British writers are known for creating some of the best children’s literature on the planet. Although many are not aware of their origin, books like Alice in Wonderland, Humpty Dumpty, Treasure Island, and the Chronicles of Narnia all have British origins. Hands down, Britain has turned out some of the greatest writers in history. However, it was not until recent that I learned about a few modern British writers who act like children themselves. It was an August 2012 article written by Nick Cohen of the Observer that sparked my interest and caused...
