Balancing a job & writing with Yrsa Sigurðardóttir
The inaugural UNESCO City of Literature Writer in Residence joins us on the podcast

‘Iceland’s crime queen’, Yrsa Sigurðardóttir, joins Kate Griffin on the pod to discuss her writing, how she balances being a bestselling author with having a day job – and why she wants to keep the day job – and shifting between crime, horror and children’s literature.

Yrsa was the inaugural UNESCO City of Literature Writer in Residence here at Dragon Hall in September, during the Noirwich Crime Writing Festival.

Hosted by Simon Jones and Steph McKenna.
