Juno Dawson

My guest this week is Juno Dawson, the bestselling novelist, screenwriter, and columnist. Juno has won acclaim for her young adult novels, which include her debut, Hollow Pike and last year’s hit Clean about a young woman struggling with addiction. Her most recent book, Meat Market, tells the story of a young woman who goes into the modelling industry to discover an unexpectedly dark side of it. I loved hearing how she was inspired to begin writing after coming across the Twilight books while working as a teacher, how being bullied at school made her more determined to succeed - and why daytime trips to the cinema fuel her creativity.
