Olivia Sudjic

My guest this week is the phenomenal Olivia Sudjic, author of the 2017 hit Sympathy, a riveting tale of obsession described by The Observer as “Alice through the looking glass for the Instagram generation” as well as “inventive and highly charged” by the Telegraph and (my personal favourite) “an absolute fizz” by the Spectator. Last year, she followed it up with Exposure, a brilliant collection of essays about anxiety and female creativity.

We cover everything from online stalking and the dark side of the internet, to the benefits of procrastination, how she quit her job in branding to write, the horror that is public speaking, and how she needs two weeks of isolation to finish her books. She also reveals the one piece of advice she would give to any aspiring writer.
