Philip Wilding – Why changing where and how you write can make a big difference

Philip Wilding is a fantastic storyteller, and a brilliant talker of storytelling. He’s worked as a radio producer for many national stations, written as a journalist following bands across the world, and has ghostwritten memoirs, including Carl Barat of The Libertines.

His newest novel is ‘The Death and Life of Red Henley’. It’s a noir novel about 1980’s New York, a religious commune in Tennessee, and the myriad characters entwined in the death of Red Henley.

We talk about how it was written because of old ambitions and checklists he about writing a novel, also how working for him is a bit feast or famine, and how that infects the attitude of how his work is going.

You can hear why he leaves time between writing books, and how he switches on different parts of hid brain depending on the work he’s doing.
