I’m a serial rewriter and chronic reviser I draft a pitch letter/query letter early on, and a rough synopsis/outline, which I gradually but rapidly abandon once drafting starts. No method, only chaos 🙂 My kids are ideologically opposed to sleeping, so I write when and where I can, and have no set schedule or rituals.

Tell us a little something about your writing process – do you have a certain method? Do you find music helps? Give us a glimpse into your world! Ok, let’s get a little taste of what your book is all about.

You have many reviewers (including me!) who love your book already, I’m positive you’ll get plenty more love! How does it feel to have your book out there in the wild?Ī little terrifying! I keep wanting to rush up anxiously to people and pre-emptively apologise, in case they don’t like it! (Also, it is okay if you, the reader, don’t like it! But thank you for trying the book either way!) Congratulations on your release of The Book Eaters. Her short stories have featured in The Best of British Scifi Anthology, Prole, FFO, Tor Dot Com, etc., and her debut novel, THE BOOK EATERS, will be published Aug 18th, 2022 by Harper Voyager. When not reading, running, falling over in yoga, or rolling d20s, she sometimes escapes the city to wildswim in lonely dales. Originally born in the States and raised in Hong Kong, she now lives in Yorkshire with her children. Sunyi Dean (sun-yee deen) is an autistic author of fantasy fiction.
