Many thanks to the Toronto-based Sandhya Iyer for this podcastIn the first episode of Prose & People, I speak with journalist and author Shevlin Sebastian.
Shevlin made a transition from newsroom to bookshop shelves with his much-liked debut book, The Stolen Necklace, published by HarperCollins.We talked about whether long-form writing still has a place in today’s fast media landscape, what career paths remain for journalists as newsrooms shrink, and what it really takes to make the creative shift from journalist to author.As someone who’s spent years in journalism before turning to fiction, Shevlin’s reflections on writing, discipline, and resilience offer both honesty and inspiration.
