I find it really difficult to pick just one favourite writer, male or female. I love lots of the women crime writers – Denise Mina is a particular favourite because she is from and writes about my home town of Glasgow, Scotland.

Glad to hear others have been influenced by the great women on literature too. And of course I’ll come back and tell you all about my novel when it’s ready for publication!

Jane Smiley – especially A Thousand Acres.
And yes – I agree that Nicola Morgan has encouraged a small army of us.

Margaret Atwood is a huge influence for me, and recently Jane Rusbridge has inspired me to experiment with POV and tenses.

AS posted in response to your Tweet on Twitter, Jodie Piccoult has been a great influence on my writing.

Ellie, thank you for this post about the women writers you’ve loved and been influenced by. Exciting to hear that you’ve already read Nicola Morgan’s latest book. Let us know when your novel is finished. I hope we’ll get a good cross-section of women writers in comments to your post.
