Hi Fay, so nice of you to come on GN and answer our questions. I read on your website that no one's interested in what happens to women after 35. Why, in your opinion is this just women, and not men? I feel I only started to get interesting around 40. How do we convince the world not to ignore us 'oldies'?
I'm talking about fiction - of course we all get more interesting as we get older. We know more, we've experience more - we know what is going to happen next. It's just that, if we're at a party, unless we're very special, men's eyes at parties tend to look past us. And, honestly, that doesn't matter very much, but a wise writer, hoping to get published, is probably wiser not to write about the domestic problems of a 50-year-old woman. Which is tough news, but it's true.
