Episode 65: Secret sisterhoods & female literary friendships with Emily Midorikawa and Emma Claire Sweeney

In this week's episode, we have the special privilege of having one but two guests - writers and friends Emily Midorikawa and Emma Claire Sweeney. Emily and Emma are the co-authors of A Secret Sisterhood: The literary friendships of Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte, George Eliot and Virginia Woolf. They also co-run the fantastic blog about female literary friendship and collaboration, SomethingRhymed.com.

Emma is the author of the award-winning novel Owl Song at Dawn, and Emily is a winner of the Lucy Cavendish Fiction Prize, and they both teach at New York University London.

We loved talking to them about how to tackle a big project and stay friends, as well as how literary women have always managed ambition and jealousy in their friendships - and how Emma and Emily have dealt with these things. We loved talking to these honest, smart and literary women.
