Bestselling Author Bryn Turnbull on The Berlin Apartment, Dark Nights of the Soul & Fountain Pens
I caught up with international bestselling author Bryn Turnbull at her cottage in the week leading up to the launch of her fourth historical fiction novel (and part psychological thriller), THE BERLIN APARTMENT, on August 27, 2024 (pre-order yours now!)
Bryn's novels expertly blend historical accuracy with emotional depth (no easy feat) and we chat about everything from her research process for writing about the berlin wall during the cold war, to the risk and rewards of being a full-time writer, plus what motivates her to keep writing after contemplating quitting being an author. Bryn also shares the scoop on where to find the best fountain pens and how she marries the practice of writing long-hand with scrivener.
All Toronto readers! You're invited to the book launch party for The Berlin Apartment at Type Books (across from Trinity Bellwoods) on August 27 at 7pm with Bianca Marais. Catch Bryn at the Grimsby Author’s Festival in November and at A Different Drummer bookshop in Burlington. Keep an eye on the events page for brynturnbull.com :)

Can you Separate the Art from the Artist? - NO - If it had been otherwise, their work would have been different - better or worse - You liked this work or you didn't - In the latter case, it doesn't matter - it will only be one of countless uninteresting works destined for destruction - You liked this work - It wouldn't have existed without what they were - Of course, you can imagine that if they had been different, their work would have been different too, but better and more moral and more pleasant - You are with the choice to judge the artist and say NO - You are with the choice to judge the work and say NO - works do not feel anything, not even rejection or disgust - nor do dead artists - There is no shortage of interesting works made by honest, responsible and studious workers - But you are neither a priest, nor a psychologist, nor a judge nor a policeman - So you still have the choice to say: I don't care and I love his work too much to do without it - I take him as he is
Falling for the trap of glamour.
Talking at Night is such a special read ❤
shiny object syndrome also known as adhd.
It's never been "age old debate"... the answer has always been "yes".
Good discussion. The Neil Gaiman situation is even worse now with five women levelling seriously bad accusations at this famous so-called male feminist
Congrats it's so lovely a birth of a book is like a birth of a child beleive me tgis is what happened to me when i received my first children story and dad was so exciting to be the first reader abd my mom makes us a coffee, my brother brings the 2000 copies from the printing house, it was a family gathering behind my success as an author.
So lovely cover
I hope that you record the beginning of every bbok launch so i can understand the whole ptocedures please.
Really impressed publishing houses here in the arab country don't have these concepts to build a community to support authors and writers that's why arab authors don't profit from there books any penny once they sell it they took the cheap money which will not help the authors to live and goodbye for arab authors, they will be dead before living and theur writings in the drawers for eternity. Damm on us how we accept these things, for that i didn't accept to work with any publishing houses here.
When you put the hastags of writings is it your vlog will be there ?
I like the ambition tgat you have to launch your book, you remind me when i wrote my first children story, i was si busy and so happy coming and going with taxi 🚖 to the printing house as i am independant author. I stopped writing and i am struggling coming back to many reasons including fatigue from the 9-5 cage work. I hope i can came back soon.
Who is the publishing house that makes this lovely book trailer ? I like the idea concept
Could you share with us a free download from papers in the big files, I think it's so motivated for writers like us, please I really need this because I am struggling a lot finding the right time to write and discipline me and my ideas. Thank you
A comment on Rowling: The world is a wicked place, and anyone who would defend women and girls needs some moral courage. In my opinion Rowling has shown such moral courage by standing up to the popular bullies, whereas you are seeking to appease the trendy and popular bullies by throwing Rowling under the bus. No doubt you will continue to be surprised and dismayed to find that so many of your heros (the popular bullies) are actually villains. I'll bet you cannot even articulate what Rowling said that was supposedly so terrible. Not without repeating lies. BTW, I too stand with Maya.
Rowling is bullying some very vulnerable people with extremely toxic words. She's just insulting trans people at this point, labelling transwomen “Crossdressing straight men". Imane is even suing her for her attacks over the boxing .
@@kingerz in what context do you claim she used that phrase? crossdressing straight men exist. Sorry, but that's just true. And if you are implying she ever said that all trans women are cross dressing straight men, that would be a lie. And Imane trying to use use a French criminal court to teach an English woman how to speak English is just ludicrous. Also women's sports are inherently discriminatory - the whole point is to exclude men (and part-men) so that biological women may compete. I see only two choices- either accept that such discrimination is justified in this instance, or abolish women's sports entirely. While we do not know the medical details, we know that Imane failed a gender test and is at least partly male. Hence I agree with Rowling that she should not be competing in a woman's category
@@johnwhelan9663 Women's sports exist only so that women can win something
A comment on the Gaiman case: Gaiman is merely exposed as practicing more-or-less what he preaches. He has long entertained predatory fantasies while rejecting traditional morality. Which is not a good thing when combined with wealth and power.. I suppose this does not necessarily make him a predator, but now that we know he is one,, nobody has any right to be particularly surprised.
A comment on the Monro case: She sure is no Marion Zimmer Bradley. She committed no sexual abuse; nor was she complicit, either before or after the fact. Her youngest daughter was 25 before Monro even found out. She committed no crimes. She did not even break any of the 10 commandments. Her sin is that she associated with a known sinner. Which, as I recall, was one of the charges against Jesus. What was to be done with Fremlin? If he was not be put to death (a question in which Monro had no say), then someone needed to associate with him. No 80-year old man is an island. If his own wife did not look after him, someone else would have had to. Who is better qualified t o keep him out of trouble than his own wife? So I don't really get the hand-wringing here. But it fits with a pattern I have noticed of certain progressives being very preoccupied with concepts of social contagion and guilt-by-association.
Well said Louise, always enjoy listening to your take. I want to start writing my bio and don't know where to begin and listening to you is helping me with my feelings, on where do I begin. So thank you. I don't feel alone. 🖊️📖
I have a random question: What genre(s) do you usually write in (or plan to write in)? For example: fantasy, romance, etc.? I was just curious. Thank you in advance and have a good day.
all those things sound great! but im an aspiring writer, just finished my first draft for my book: through my eyes: chronicles of a uc berkeley student. so, anything useful to know for getting started is really helpful!
JK Rowling just has political views some don't like, Neil Gaiman is allegedly a predator (and if you read his works, the signs are there which makes it very hard to separate). Very different things.
at least with the gaiman stuff, it didn't involve children. a mother protecting a pdf file is one of the worst kinds of humans, like honestly
alice munro didn't get exposed while she was alive?
According to the article by her daughter, she initially told her stepmother and father about the abuse and was told she shouldn't tell her mother. When she was 25, she finally told her mother and then reported the abuse to the authorities. Her stepfather was charged and eventually pleaded guilty. Alice told her daughter that she told her too late and that she couldn't leave him. This would have been known to people who were involved and people who knew the family but wasn't really reported on at the time. Her daughter chose to make a public statement after her mother's death. Likely because her mother was being celebrated and "remembered" so fondly and her daughter wanted people to know that while her mother might have been a great writer, she wasn't such a great person. In fact, other allegations have come out about Fremlin and apparently at one point Munro told her daughter that she thought Fremlin might be responsible for the rape and murder of a 12 year old girl in 1959. Yet, even suspecting her husband of murder and his own admission that he sexually assaulted her daughter wasn't enough to get Munro to leave him. I can't even imagine.

Great video, love tour channel. If you ever come to the UK there's a great indi bookshop in Bath called Mr B's and a specialist sci-fi and fantasy bookshop in Oxford.
Could we be connected as supporting each other as authors ?
No way I was writing the same title but in some little difference. Thinking that we have telepathy.
This discussion. Wow. It was everything I needed to hear. Both of you articulated where you are in your writer lives so well. As a querying writer in middle age without children I struggle with many of these issues and the imposter syndrome that comes with it. Thanks so much for this!
This is so helpful - I am 29 now and my husband and I are getting ready to start trying to have kids, and this is a topic I have always been interested in and worried about. Thank you for speaking so candidly. I am devouring your podcast!!!
what an AMAZING episode Louise!!! I loved this so much and needed to hear all of this tbh thank you for sharing
Not me stumbling across your video and then watching you drive through my neighbourhood! 🥰
I remember that first outing after having our little one was surreal. Nice to see that you got to get out and enjoy quiet time. So important to do for our mental health ❤
I still call it Chapters too... and I call Costco "Club Price". LOL
Great podcast!! Look forward to seeing your friendship flourish and grow as I hope you continue to re-join and look forward to reading both of your books. Thank you for sharing your lives! 😊💖💞
The flamingo thing is so cute! Great way to think about it. :D
Ooooh! I love all the re-pinking! I'm just about to start Erik Larson's "The Demon of Unrest". Look it up - might be something your dad would enjoy.
Great concept! I got overwhelmed and cried today and I did not just have a baby or am caring for a newborn. Please give yourself plenty of grace.
I often feel like I have to work to get my pink back and I haven’t even had a baby 😂 these tips were great for someone in a general slump
What a great concept, I'd never heard of this before either. This was a much needed boost as I'm going through my own writing slump right now. Thanks for this!
Louise so GREAT to hear from you!!! Never heard the pink 🦩 flamingo cliche however it makes all the sense. It does take time but you're amazing and will bounce back into your routine in no time. I am sure it's different for everyone. Just think you'll be reading to your baby, teaching how to read, have a love for books, and possibly he'll grow up to be the best author ever to live !!! 💖📚 ✍🏻📄📝 😊
Bethany Atazedah has a similar story (if im not misremembering, she also wasn't prepared and really stressed out about losing her identity as an author) You might want to check out some of her videos and maybe reach out. I dont think she sugar coats the experience either.
Picking up on your question about what content to make, looks like your high hitting videos are all about writing specifically. I clicked because I’m writing my first book and I’m always on the hunt for advice on writing for newbie’s. There are lots of book tubers out there so that may explain your lower view counts on the other content. What may be good is to take popular book you have read and do breakdown videos for first time authors to learn story structure, pacing, foreshadowing etc. hope this helps 😊 Adele
Thank you so much for sharing this ❤ I am a writer and currently 20weeks experiencing everything you have described. By far this has been the most helpful video I have watched about motherhood. Thank you so much for giving me hope ❤
I am so excited to see what comes next for you as a writer and a mother! Congratulations❤
So happy Louise that you are continuing your goals during Motherhood. You are right, it does take a transitioning period and you are doing well. So happy for you. I will continue to follow you and share your content with others. 💖
Thanks for this, it couldn't have come at a better time. My writing slump is pretty epic right now. I've had some feedback from full requests(rejected ones, lol!) and if I want to address them I'll need to make major revisions that feel more like a complete rewrite. I don't know about you but the longer I stray from my ms the more disconnected I feel to it, and now I need to ask myself if the book I wrote is still the kind I want it to be. I'm so looking forward to more writing vlogs, knowing that you're finding time for this along with the writing and the new responsibilities is really inspiring!
LOVE the writing tips and bts
