...Man Booker Prize: What lessons can aspiring writers draw from Alison Moore's progress?
"The story of mine which was shortlisted for the Manchester Fiction Prize was inspired by a passing comment made by a work colleague some months before I left – the comment and ensuing story idea were noted down at the time but only worked on after leaving. There's some kind of balancing act to be done, I think, between putting yourself out into the real world and withdrawing from it sufficiently to be able to concentrate on the writing."
