Isabelle Broom, author of 'Hello, Again' - Escapist romance writer talks about how ideas change, travelling for research, and why character is everything.

Isabelle Broom has just published her seventh novel. 'Hello, Again' follows mosaic artist Pepper, who accompanies her elderly friend Josephine on the trail of a long-lost love affair through Europe. It has been described as “a dreamy, romantic, irresistible treat”, and promises whisk you off overseas for a fabulous adventure. We talk about how she delivers on that promise with words on a page, how she uses them to make idealistic adventure filled with emotion come to life.


She writes escapist romance novels set all over the world. Isabelle has taken readers to Prague, Italy, Spain, Sri Lanka, New Zealand amongst many more places - the best part is, she has to travel there to research it herself!


We chat about what getting the first draft done really helps with, how to make your characters the most authentic they can be, how to pick the perfect word, and how to make lockdown creativity work for you.
