New interview with Kathy Lette
Our new ‘insider interview’ is with the very successful, very funny and very frank, novelist Kathy Lette.
Kathy talks about her route to getting published and her writing life now as well as offering her own brand of advice to aspiring writers, including the odd word of warning.
She talks about her experience of literary agents and offers some pearls of wisdom on handling rejection.
Kathy says:
“I would just say that being a writer is the best job in the world. Not only can you impale enemies on the end of your pen, but you get to work in your PJs all day, drink heavily on the job and have affairs and call it research. But I principally became a writer as it involves no heavy lifting.”

Kathy Lette is the author of ten novels including Nip’n’Tuck, Girls Night Out and Dead Sexy. Her last book, To Love, Honour and Betray, was published in 2008 and her new novel Men – A User’s Guide is out now.
