Mike Heath speaks to Laura Harper, writer of "A Quick Guide To Ruining Your Life". The piece was performed at this year's Greater Manchester Fringe Festival and won first prize in The WriteForTheStage Prize for New Writing. Laura tells us about how she develops her ideas, how she juggles her home life with her writing, and how she develops character voices and story arc. Laura's play will be published by WFTS Books in 2020. For more information about The WriteForTheStage Prize for New Writing, our courses, our publications, and to read our blog, go to writeforthestage.co.uk
