Today, we have Francesca Brine with us for our Author Answers episode. Francesca is a 27 year old Scottish author of Adult Fantasy novels. In today’s episode she shares about her experience with querying and encourages all of us to stick with it, even when faced with rejections.

Francesca says: “I have always loved writing, I think it came along very soon after my love of reading. Creating stories and letting folks find an escape or a laugh is my main goal, it's why I write! I was first inspired to write by the late and great Sir Terry Pratchett, and his Discworld fantasy series of books. His satirical tone and his wonderfully original world just grabbed my imagination and never let go. I attended Stirling University and have my bachelors degree in English Literature with honours. So far I've completed 15 novels, and there's plenty more still to come!”

Keep writing and keep putting your work out in the world!
