ANNALENA MCAFEE

I am a print addict. I have an ebook and a computer but I remain hooked on print.

I see myself as a recovering journalist.

One good thing about leaving daily journalism was that I was no longer obliged to read all the book prize short lists.

That's what I really wanted to do when I was 16, be in comics!

Apparently when I went to school, I had a Glasgow accent.

My father used to get me to read the newspaper to him, as if I was a radio. I would stand there and read the 'Times.'

My feelings towards the newspapers are very affectionate.
