DARK LULLABY is available from Titan.
And you can find more about Polly on her website.
Polly and I spoke about teaching and writing and why we both need a better system for organising our reading.
Polly mentioned these books during the interview:
- HOLD BACK THE STARS by Katie Khan
- A MONSTER CALLS by Patrick Ness
- A SWIM IN A POND IN THE RAIN by George Saunders
Thank you very much, Polly, it was a hugely entertaining chat.
