The Author Talks

Many listeners contact us wanting to know more about the authors of the books they have just enjoyed. Then the idea arose - why not record the interview and include it in the Clipper Audio edition? The Author Talks was born. Since it's inception we have recorded talks with some of the finest authors in the UK and beyond, all are fascinating insights into their lives and methods of writing.

Some names to look out for in The Author Talks series are Lesley Pearse, Stephen Booth, Sue Townsend, Clive Woodall, Adele Gèras, Chris Ryan and many many more.

Authors are delighted to talk to their listeners through Clipper Audio books and we will be adding new interviews with ever more bestselling writers.
