To wrap up season 2, we are going to explore Twilight and 50 Shades of Grey in depth from a perspective of what can creative writers learn from these two series that become a phenomenon across the world.

Today’s episode is tackling an issue that a lot of people probably don't want to talk about and admit, and that is the underlying sexism in the publishing industry.

We are not just going to be acknowledging and speaking about this, but we're also going to be having a look at how this had an effect on the reception of these two stories because they were written by a female author.

Scarlett Marie is a true born creative, who has spent her whole life dabbling in the arts and craft, only to find her feet in the world of words whereby she has spent over fifteen years making stories come alive.

Her time and energy has been mainly spent on the series A Royal Life, of which she started drafting when she was fifteen. 

Here on the 'Diary of a Writer' she hopes to show people a peek behind the door of what it means to live as a full-time creative.
