Eve Seymour
E.V. Seymour is the author of fourteen novels and writes in two genres: psychological thriller featuring female leads, and action adventure/spy fiction featuring male main protagonists.
Eve’s latest novel, ‘My Daughter’s Secrets’, was published by Joffe in September 2022. Her other recent novels, ‘Neon’ and ‘Six’, were written under the pseudonym G.S. Locke and published by Orion in 2020 and 2021.
She has taken part in various literary events, including Crimefest, Bristol, and Harrogate Crime Writing Festival, and is no stranger to talking about her books on BBC radio. In November 2019, she appeared in ‘Everything is Connected – George Eliot’s life,’ a new Arena documentary directed by artist Gillian Wearing on BBC 4. In the programme, Eve talks about why she chose to write with a male pseudonym, together with the challenges of writing in a genre that is traditionally associated with male writers.
She is represented by Broo Doherty at DHH Literary Agency, London. You can visit her website at www.evseymour.co.uk and find her on Twitter @EveSeymour

WHAT EVE SAYS ABOUT EDITING
When I started writing I stumbled around for quite a while before I found an editorial consultancy that made the difference. Suddenly, and with a measure of embarrassment, I realised all the basic mistakes that I’d made and, more importantly, understood how to avoid them. It was like receiving a massive reality check. Shortly after working with an editor, I obtained agent representation. It was that simple. This only serves to illustrate that I genuinely recognise the importance of providing constructive criticism to new writers.
I’m also well aware that criticism, however well intentioned, can be difficult to accept. Some writers find it a painful and bruising process because they have invested so much of themselves in a story. It’s why I genuinely try to let a writer know, whatever point is made, I’m batting for them and that my job is to help each author make their story the best it can be. Depending on the author, I’m known for softening any critical pill with a little humour.
