Novel gazing - The Aussie author behind Hollywood hit Big Little Lies | 60 Minutes Australia

In the world of publishing the accepted wisdom is that if a writer reaches 20,000 book sales they’re given the prized title, “best-selling author”. But based on that premise, there aren’t enough superlatives to describe Liane Moriarty. The unassuming Australian’s books sell not in the thousands but the millions – in fact more than 14 million at last count. No wonder Hollywood superstars Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon came knocking on Liane’s door. They loved her novel, Big Little Lies, so much that they turned it into a television blockbuster, which has now turned Liane Moriarty into an even greater success story.
