I recently had the pleasure of interviewing the local author Colin Bateman about the state of the crime fiction market in the UK today. Colin is the author of Divorcing Jack which was adapted to screen in 2004. His latest book is 2009's Mystery Man.
The author is described as the king of the comic caper. The interview will form the basis for my industry analysis for the Professional Writing course, and Colin's insights proved very useful. Particularly interesting were his views on the e-book situation and the difficulties encountered by young authors in the field.
I plan to post a transcript of the full interview here after I submit my industry analysis, so watch this space.
Update: Crime writer Mark Billingham has also granted me an interview, so I will be posting both within the next month or so.
