Karen Osman is an award winning, best selling novelist based in Dubai. Since she won the Montegrappa Prize for Fiction at the Emirates Literature Festival back in 2016, her gripping psychological thrillers have flown off the shelves across the world. I’ve read them all and can tell you just how good they are.

Her hugely popular online course Kick Start Your Book with Karen helps budding authors achieve their dream of writing a book and Karen was very generous with her advice and insight on how to write a novel.

Despite writing utterly terrifying books, Karen is an absolutely lovely human being, full of positive energy and tips on how to stay focused and creative in a busy and demanding world.

If you long to pursue a creative life  and if you feel you have a novel inside you - then this episode is for you.
