The weekly books and publishing review also interviews biographer Anne Edwards and reports from Trump Tower.

Henry Kelly speaks to veteran journalist and author Noel Barber, who recounts having had 19 unsuccessful manuscripts before being given an advance of £20 for his 20th. He discusses his recent novels, such as A Woman of Cairo and his writing practices, including always writing his manuscripts in longhand.

Jill Cochrane speaks to Anne Edwards, a successful biographer of subjects including Katherine Hepburn. She talks about her new book, Sisters, which looks at the relationship of Princess Margaret and the Queen from the abdication crisis to the Queen's coronation. She also reveals her past as a blacklisted screenwriter during the McCarthyism period in US film history and having to move to the UK to find work. She discusses the huge emotional weight of writing a biography of Vivien Leigh and announces that her next book will be on Shirley Temple.

Henry Kelly reports from Trump Tower in Manhattan and holds a copy of Donald Trump's The Art of the Deal which he announces as being the bestselling hardback in the US that week. He then presents a rundown of the Top Ten US Paperback Fiction chart.

Henry also talks to Freddie Gherson about his new novel, Sweetie Baby Cookie Honey, based on his real life experiences in the music and entertainment business. He reveals how he started the book as a memoir of his time in the industry before making it fictionalised to spare pain to individuals. Henry then speaks to the actor Joss Ackland about books he is reading, such as Stephen Spender's Thirty Years After. He discusses reading lots of mass market books as preparation for TV and film adaptations. Henry concludes the programme with the Top Ten UK paperback fiction chart.

The Write Stuff was a weekly round-up of the world of books, authors and publishing and was a contribution from Ulster Television to the ITV network's daytime schedules. Each week, presenter Henry Kelly and reporter Jill Cochrane interviewed prominent authors, sought out celebrities for the latest books they'd read and ran through the weekly book charts.
