Peter Berry is the author of the Deadly Dozen trilogy of detective books. Before dedicating himself to writing, Peter had a colourful career in PR. He was Jamie Oliver’s head of PR travelling the world with the A List chef and keeping the tabloids at bay. Before that he was in the music business working with artists as diverse at The Who, Steps, Meat Loaf (always two words) and Atomic Kitten. He also used to receive Christmas phone calls from the actor, James Stewart. A latecomer to writing, after four years, eighteen drafts, numerous rejection letters and four title changes, his first novel Lunch with the Deadly Dozen was published when Pete was 56 and has sold 10,000 copies.
Peter will be in conversation with our own Liam Black (another very successful local writer!) about his super interesting career, how he writes and his advice for anyone who wants to follow in his footsteps, no matter what the stage of their careers.
