Hey there word nerds!

Today, I have the pleasure of interviewing Natalie Jenner.

Natalie Jenner was born in England, raised in Canada, and graduated from the University of Toronto with degrees in English Literature and Law. She worked for decades in the legal industry and also founded an independent bookstore in Oakville, Ontario, where she lives with her family and two rescue dogs. The Jane Austen Society is the first published novel for this lifelong devotee of all things Jane Austen and is out now.

In this episode Natalie and I discuss:

  • How Jane Austen inspired her to begin writing again after a break.
  • Why Jane Austen is an excellent influence for contemporary writers.
  • Her method for getting started on a book (hint: you can do it too!).

Plus, her #1 tip for writers.
