A droll and insightful study of partnerships – in love, in writing, in work – and creativity, Graeme Simsion’s newest hit is about two writers who crafted a bestselling novel and fell in love along the way, but who nonetheless are struck by the pressures of second book syndrome. Emily, a struggling literary author, and Scott, a struggling screenwriter, combined the best of their skillsets to create an internationally beloved piece of writing. Now, Emily’s latest manuscript is stuck, Scott’s solo novel has flopped, and their relationship is on the rocks. Will they be able to come together once more to create another hit? Paired with a selection of stories from across Graeme Simsion’s career, including the first appearance of Don Tillman, Creative Differences and Other Stories will leave you wanting more.
