Everyone hates a liar. Unless, apparently, they are the main characters in a novel or movie.

Unreliable narrators have become all the rage in current fiction. Gone Girl, Girl on a Train, Before I Go To Sleep...there are dozens of them out there.

There is a current surge in unreliables, but they aren't something new. Christie and Poe wrote them too.

Join us in chat to discuss unreliable narrators, how to recognize them, and how to write them. It's not as easy as you may think!

This is the article we will use to start the discussion.

This link gives you some more information on unreliables in YA fiction.
