Andrew Hunter Murray is a writer, a journalist, and a comedian. What stood out from this conversation is his love for literature, which shows up both in his three novels and in how he's studied people like Edith Wharton and Jane Austen.

We talked about what makes a good premise and how to make a character feel alive. This conversation was a lot of fun.
