Nerve interviews our OCD-est author

Nerve: When I heard about the concept, I was skeptical. It sounds like a gimmick.

Graham Rawle: That's the thing that concerned me the most, that people would look at it as a novelty rather than a novel. For me, if the story doesn't work then it's quite a spectacular waste of time. So with the editing process, we had to be as ruthless as you would be with a straight novel. My editor would say, "We should cut chapter thirteen," and I'd have to go, "Okay. Well, that took eight months to make, but that's fine." [Nerve.com interview and Jessa's starting to buy into it]
