The Hot Mic

By Mur Lafferty

Mur Lafferty's Newsletter

Hugo nominated for Six Wakes. She doesn't know it but I've been listening to Mur's podcasts for years. Both "I should Be Writing" and "Ditch Diggers" for years. Think I got a mention once when I sent her some good news, which she reads whenever a listener writes in. She has guided my fledgling writing career and educated me in so many ways. Thank you Mur.
