I’m currently doing my MA in Writing at Sheffield Hallam, and my novel is a Young Adult novel. The person who taught me the Writing for Children module was supposed to be my supervisor for the whole MA, but he had to leave suddenly at the end of March.
He’s been replaced by an author who I’ve met, and liked, and who has written a lot of realism-based YA novels which is great as that’s what mine is too. I’m meeting her on Wednesday to discuss my novel. I bought a few of her books and I’ve started to read one.
And, well, I feel like I am at least as good a writer as her, and maybe even a better one? I know that sounds up myself, but her prose is littered with cliches and some of the dialogue and internal monologue is awful. I’m a bit weirded out by it!
