We have given the inimitable Sadie Kaye her own nook to put witty writers like you through her Writer’s Gauntlet of questions! This is your chance to show off your wit and sass and get you and your published works or works in progress (WIP) attention to impress literary agents and publishers, even before you have finalised your first draft. The funniest responders will be invited to record their responses and answer more quickfire questions as a podcast!
