Karin Slaughter Building North Falls & Bringing The Good Daughter to Screen | Women in Entertainment
Karin Slaughter may be known for writing unforgettable darkness, but at the heart of her stories is something far more hopeful: the belief that tomorrow can be better. The bestselling author joins the Women in Entertainment podcast to discuss the evolution of her career, from creating the Grant County and Will Trent series to building the world of North Falls with the intention of creating a long-running series from the very beginning. Karin takes listeners inside her unconventional writing process, explains why she loves ending the North Falls books with cliffhangers, and reflects on what has kept her creatively energized across more than twenty books. She also opens up about bringing her work to television. Karin shares why she embraces the differences between the Will Trent books and the ABC series, and what it was like to write every episode and serve as showrunner on The Good Daughter, starring Rose Byrne and Meghann Fahy. Along the way, she talks about crime fiction, BookTok, reading across genres, resisting the algorithm, and why writers need both persistence and curiosity.
