Hannah Dennison | The Secrets of Revision

I fell in love with Hannah Dennison the moment I met her.And I had had to take the Underground, two trains, a taxi, a tiny plane the size of a bathtub and ride in the back of a little trick to get to the writing retreat I took with her off the coast of Cornwall. It was worth it. Hannah has a list for every situation. Since she writes mystery, they have titles like "ways to kill someone" and "methods for catching a killer," but she's also brilliant at character development. The tip that made me beg her to come on the show was when she suggested giving every character a secret if the plot was lagging. Having started her career writing the obituaries for a small local paper, Hannah went on to work as a flight attendant on private planes where she met Steven Spielberg, who encouraged her to pursue her dream of writing. Since, she worked in film and has written over ten books in two series, with a third coming soon. I know you'll love her as much as I do.
