In this episode of Confessions of a Debut Novelist, I’m talking to Niamh Ní Mhaoileoin about her contemporary novel Ordinary Saints. We discuss how her inspiration came from a true story about a modern-day teenager being made into a saint, why she deleted her first 20k words and how entering a competition to give herself a deadline changed her life.  Confessions of a Debut Novelist Bookshop* Buy Ordinary Saints: https://uk.bookshop.org/a/10990/9781786584236 Follow Niamh: @niamhsquared https://www.niamhnimhaoileoin.com Follow Chloe on Twitter: @clotimms Buy Chloe's debut novel The Seawomen: https://linktr.ee/chloetimms chloetimms.co.uk  Hosted on Acast.
