This is the final episode of our second season. We'd like to thank everyone who has listened, rated and reviewed the show. We'll be back in the autumn for a new series but until then, enjoy your summer and your writing.

In this episode Dr Rachel Knightley and Emily Inkpen look at the ways in which writers use time in their storytelling. From linear narratives following a traditional chronology to fractured, repeating and circular narratives we compare them and look at the advantages of playing around with time in your work.

Join us next week for the final episode of season 2 in which we'll be joined by a very special guest.

Dropping hints about events to come in your stories can raise tension and add depth and interest to your work. In this episode we look at the art and technique of foreshadowing and ask why should writers consider it an important tool in their skillset.
