The Book Whisperers Mary Turner Thomson, Sue Cohen and Lea Taylor
-
- Comedy
We all have a book inside of us (a lot of us have more than one) but sometimes those stories can be buried deep. Three authors - Mary Turner Thomson, Sue Cohen and Lea Taylor - created The Book Whisperers to entice those trapped stories into the world. By recognising potential authors motives, needs and desires, The Book Whisperers aim to provide writers with confidence, knowledge, contacts and support to start and keep writing as well as to publish and market their books.
And if we can have fun along the way all the better!
All three presenters are successful authors and publishers with a wealth of experience within the book industry - from traditional publishing to self-publishing.

Not My Finest Hour - Old T**s and Tupperware
The Book Whisperers discuss the benefits and pitfalls of Tupperware and throw in the odd tit in the process. There may be a few writing tips, and certainly a performance of comedy poetry etc, and indubitably a lot of giggles from all quarters.

Writing as Therapy
# Writing as Therapy
Reading and writing have been proven to have immense therapeutic properties. Until we started talking about it we didn't realise how much this had come into our lives. Each of us have used writing as a therapy without our own lives as well as running courses with children and adults on writing themselves out of a crisis or using writing to promote self-esteem and self-confidence.
We hope you enjoy listening to our bookish antics as much as we enjoyed making it. -
Gifting Books
What makes a good gift book and how can you make a book more giftable? With Christmas coming around the corner The Book Whisperers discuss giving and receiving books, as well as creating products in the gift book market. Lots of hints and tips with regards to adding value to your existing book, and thinking about additional books you can write.

Making Time to Write
Being writers we are very creative people - which can be a challenge when it comes to the more practical side of our work - and specifically time management. How easy is it to stop multi-tasking and focus on what is important, to prioritise and schedule in work when all you want to do is sit down in a quiet corner and pen some stories. We all have a finite amount of energy to give towards the things we do, so how do we get the best out of the time we have?
With whisperings, questions, and shared writing.
