Women in WW2 at home in Britain had their lives turned upside down. Anna Parker-Naples shares her research and creative writing process as she creates her first novel based on events that happened in her home town Leighton Buzzard, Q-Central and nearby Bletchley Park. From the factory girls at Gossards who made the parachutes for Spitfires, to the Land Girls who fell in love with POW's and the WAAF's and WRN's billeted in the town alongside thousands of East End evacuees, Anna's intention is to share the bits that inspire her work, but may not get included in the final manuscript. As a writer on the prestigious Faber Academy writers course, Anna will share the journey from idea, to first draft, revisions, the search for an agent and traditional book publishing deal, and beyond. With interviews with fellow writers and established authors, and with historians who specialise in the Second World War. If you would like to follow this journey, go to www.annapn.co/ww2

01 A Personal Connection to WW2

The stories we've read about World War 2 may never be enough to truly understand what went on during that period. This is why we may not see the need to celebrate the survivors and the impact of the tough decisions they had to make at every turn. In this episode, I'll be talking about my personal connection to WW2 and the story that inspired me to write a book about it.

What You Will Learn in This Episode:

- Why I developed an interest in World War 2

- Why I decided to leave the theatre world and become a writer

- How I got to learn about the Leighton Buzzard history during the war

- The importance of documenting and celebrating national histories all over the world

- The secrets of RAF Stanbridge

When you take a timeout to learn history, it connects your memories to the happenings, to the environment and to the stories from that period of time. This has inspired me to tell the tale of the women of Leighton Buzzard and how they lived during the war.
