Today's guest is Maram Taibah, a fantasy writer born in Montreal, Canada. She was raised in Saudi Arabia, which at times was the most unimaginative place. This pushed her to escape into books at a very early age and from there into the craft of storytelling. Her most recent publication is the children's steam punk book, Weathernose. Maram is not only a fiction writer, but also a screenwriter and filmmaker. In 2014 she made her first short film Munkeer, and in 2016 Don't Go Too Far, both of which were screened at the Canne's short film corner. Maram joined me today to talk about how screenwriting can help you become a more concise novelist.
