Show Notes
In this episode I talk about what it feels like one week into your new book coming out. I report from the book tour, share my thoughts on when - & if - you 'make it' as a writer, & I admit to my own continuing issues with self doubt & self criticism. I hope it's useful to hear.

I chat with poet and nonfiction author Jo Bell about her journey from archaeologist to poet to memoir writer, and how the three titles are intimately linked.

In this episode, I talk about the bits of a writing career that can feel a bit less natural, authentic or fun, why the feelings that arise are ok, and how we can move through them to get back to the magic. Hope you enjoy it.
Hello folks. In this episode I talk about where I am with my writing and life in September 2025, and lay out a few plans. A chill little diary entry episode.

It's a writing ramble episode. I talk about humour, shades of meaning and playing about with status dynamics in your fiction (and life!).
