The Creative Conversation #5 - Nick Earls

Novelist Nick Earls is a very funny man.

He had me in stitches as we hid behind a bookshelf in the green room at the Sydney Writers Festival.

The former doctor spoke without prompted about possibly going to childcare with Eddie Izzard, working as a storytelling armchair, and using paper clips to hold together his story ideas.

Nick's novels 48 Shades of Brown, Zigzag Street and Perfect Skin are all young adult classics. His latest novel for adults is Analogue Men.
