Episode 88—Guest Interview Derbyshire Author: S. R. Durham—Writing in Multiple Genres.
In this episode, Pete and Laura head over to The Writers’ Room to chat with Derbyshire Author S. R. Durham about writing in several genres.
S. R. Durham is an indie author from the High Peak in Derbyshire. He self-published his first full-length novel, Prey, in 2021, and his second, Surrogate, in 2022. He writes across several genres, from thriller and psychological suspense to horror and speculative crime.
Ste worked in journalism and PR for a decade, before going freelance as a copywriter in order to focus on his family and his fiction writing.
Pete and Laura ask Ste:
Tell us about yourself and your journey. How did you get started with writing?
Can you tell us more about your self-publishing route to publication? How did you find the experience? Is there anything you would do differently now?
Your book covers look fantastic! Can you tell us more about the creative design process you went through?
You class your first book as a horror thriller, and the second is folk horror. Please, can you talk through the nuance of these genre categories?
What three pieces of advice can you give to our listeners to help them write in these genres?
What’s next for you, and how can our listeners find out more about you and your work?
