Meet the up-and-coming Belfast author whose first novel hopes to give an insight into the world of modern dating in Northern Ireland.
Lucy McMullan, writer of Belles of Belfast, a novel dubbed 'Sex and the City of NI' said she wanted to be able to create a story that encapsulated Northern Ireland as it is now and the reality of relationships experienced by her and her peers.
"After Belfast Met, I went full-time into video editing so again, it was all very storytelling-focused. I then ran a marketing agency for a bit which taught me how to sell, talk to people and make contacts." When originally coming up with the Belles of Belfast TV series, she knew she wanted to create something that moved past the typical representation of Northern Ireland in text and on screen and present Belfast as she knows it.
"I wanted to read or watch a story that was true to the life that me and a lot of my friends are living so I just started writing." "The story follows Anna's journey finding love within herself and then finding it in relationships - she, like myself and a lot of my friends, when we were young, didn't place a lot of high value on ourselves. A lot of stories teach us that we need to find the perfect partner so we find ourselves chasing this 'Prince Charming' while ignoring a lot of the red flags.
Lucy said that the response she has gotten from the test readers so far is that the story is "needed for right now in Northern Ireland".
