Bonus! Lucy Caldwell on annotated Hamlet and Easter Eggs – Rippling Pages: Interviews with Writers
It's Easter – and it's easter egg time.
In this bonus content, you're going to hear a lot about Easter Eggs, but not the chocolate kind. Instead, we’re talking those little secret insights to Lucy's work, both past, present and future.
This is bonus content and our objects of influence segment where we ask a writer to provide us with an object that has been with them during the writing of the book.
It's also a little Easter Egg from the Rippling Pages too. You're going to hear a snippet of the Patreon close-reads podcast for subscribers. If you like the sound of it, you can sign up for exclusive member benefits, including the full close read podcast exclusive to subscribers.
