Difference Between Writer and Storyteller
Jeffrey Archer prefers to be called a story teller and not a writer. And that’s because he feels writing is easier than story-telling.
“Writers are well-educated, well-red and well-informed, but story telling is a god’s gift and I just got lucky,” says Jeffrey.”
Why Does he Hate Bollywood
Jeffrey Archer detests Bollywood because he thinks its too much of an influence on young minds.
That is one reason he doesn’t want Bollywood to make a film on any of his popular books.
