The last part of the Kristen Pfaff biography I wrote with her brother- Kristen joining Hole, the role Kurt Cobain played in her life, meeting Steve Albini, Courtney Love and so much more- is now live at iknowhowtolive.substack.com. Finally releasing it out into the world felt strangely emotional!

A man sits at a table looking sideways into a mirror. The image is black and white and a lit lightbulb hangs over the table. He is wearing a pale coloured shirt and has short hair. He has a pint in front of him.

The Tyne Bridge is pictured in the centre of the frame over a still, reflective River Tyne in Newcastle, UK. Either side of the bridge are buildings with a warmer glow as the sun rises. The words Northern Voices in white lettering feature in the bottom centre of the image.

'You should own what you're passionate about. You've got to stick to your guns. Deep down in your gut only you know what you want to write.'

Novelist Guy Mankowski on not compromising your art, his new book and what he wish he'd known when he started querying.
