Mark Stay's Creative Differences
A monthly podcast where I talk to writer friends about those little things that make a big difference to their craft and careers in the hope that we can give readers some insight to the creative process, and writers and creative folk practical advice that they can actually use!
The podcast is a recording of a monthly livestream.

Mark Stay's Creative Differences Episode 9 with Tracy Buchanan: "CELEBRATE THE GOOD STUFF!"
Tracy Buchanan is the bestselling author of the Dr Vanessa Marwood thrillers and she runs one of the best author groups on Facebook and is a brilliant advocate for authors.
We discuss:
Which comes first: research or plot?
If authors can still earn a living from writing
Growing maggots for research purposes
And much more!
My apologies for the quality of my mic for this episode. I had a dodgy connection and sound a wee bit toppy!
