Ep. 156 - Stig Abell on how a love of crime fiction informs his writing and the importance of tactility in fiction

54 min • 14 april 2023

Stig Abell is an English journalist, newspaper editor and radio presenter. He currently co-presents the Monday to Thursday breakfast show on Times Radio with Aasmah Mir. He has also written a number of non-fiction books and has just had his first fiction novel, Death Under a Little Sky, published with Harper Collins.


We had a really fun and interesting chat with Stig, hearing how his literary agent at first didn't want to read his crime novel "in case it is rubbish" - but fortunately she loved it and made sure he got a great publishing deal! We also talked about how his love of crime fiction has informed his first novel, talk about the pros and cons of modern technology for crime writers, discuss why tactility is so important in novels - and hear how he fits in his writing while getting up at 3am for his radio show!
