Another chance to listen to the writer speaking to Kirsty Young in 2013. A prolific and multi-award winning author, Malorie Blackman has powered her way to success not just through talent but determination and perseverance. From the careers mistress who told her, "black people don't become teachers," to the 82 rejection letters she received before she was published, significant parts of her life seem to have been spent proving people wrong. A technology whiz, her first career was in computing. As a writer her books have tackled challenging themes: bullying, teenage pregnancy, racism and terrorism. A former Children's Laureate, her own formative years were spent in South London where as a little girl she went from thinking everyone was her friend to feeling, as a teenager, that the world was her enemy. She says, "Good stories made me reassess the world and people as I thought I knew them. Great stories made me reassess myself."



又有机会聆听这位作家在2013年对克尔斯蒂-杨的讲话。作为一名多产和多次获奖的作家，马洛里-布莱克曼不仅通过天赋，而且通过决心和毅力获得了成功。从告诉她 "黑人不会成为教师 "的职业经理人，到她在出版前收到的82封拒绝信，她生命中的重要部分似乎一直在证明人们的错误。作为一个技术天才，她的第一个职业是计算机。作为一名作家，她的书涉及到具有挑战性的主题：欺凌、少女怀孕、种族主义和恐怖主义。作为前儿童文学奖得主，她自己的成长岁月是在伦敦南部度过的，在那里，她从一个小女孩认为每个人都是她的朋友，到十几岁的时候，她觉得世界是她的敌人。她说："好的故事让我重新评估这个世界和我认为我了解的人们。伟大的故事让我重新评估我自己"。
