This episode is sponsored by REEDSY. In this episode, Julia speaks with the writing duo, Sarah Ferguson (a.k.a. the Duchess of York) and her creative partner, Marguerite Kaye, about the process of "collabo-writing". Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, a bestselling author, philanthropist and public speaker. The Duchess has published over 70 books including two autobiographies and other titles dealing with health, empowerment, history, art, as well as novels and children's stories.  Her debut historical novel Her Heart for a Compass was published globally in 2022 by Harper Collins and was a Sunday Times bestseller.  Her second historical novel A Most Intriguing Lady has been published by Harper Collins to critical acclaim in the US and UK in March this year, and is again a Sunday Times Bestseller. You  can read her full bio here.  And because all writer’s bios have to end with where they live and how many pets they have: the Duchess lives in Windsor with five Norfolk terriers and two corgis. Marguerite Kaye has written almost 60 historical romances for Mills & Boon, set in a variety of historical eras, and has co-authored two books with Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York. She is passionate about bringing history to life. Her character-driven and deeply emotional stories feature strong women fighting for independence and love on their own terms, and have been successfully published in over twenty countries worldwide. Marguerite lives in Argyll on the west coast of her native Scotland.  More about our sponsors Reedsy is a publishing eco-system for writers at any stage in their publishing journey.
