Author, of Frog Music, Emma Donoghue
Like the variety of the books on the shelves, authors find their stories in their own unique way. It takes an idea from any part of their life to spark the creative wheels, and for the story to take shape. Whether it is taken purely from a random thought, the use of a family story molded into a narrative, or bits of history spun together into a work of fiction, each story has a moment when the author decides to take it to the next level.
Authors each have individual writing processes as well, Karen Joy Fowler, author of We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves, explains she writes her story first then outlines it to see the overall picture. Emma Donoghue, author of Frog Music, uses outlines as a map to ensure she doesn’t get lost or off track.
