Show Notes
On this episode I chat with author Lamorna Ash about her nonfiction writing, from getting to know a Cornish fishing community in her book Dark, Salt, Clear: Life in a Cornish Fishing Town, to exploring contemporary faith and Christianity in her new book, Don't Forget We're Here Forever: A New Generation's Search for Religion. We talk about the challenges and rewards of writing nonfiction, how her background in anthropology informs her work, & how writing about topics you really care about can change your life.

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. We talk about writing and critiquing poetry, what a good poem does, learning to receive feedback, and building writing communities. It's really good.
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.
In this episode I look at a listener's first page and suggest ways they could make it better. I also talk about the value of a daily practice, turning things around and getting out of a slump.
It's a writing ramble episode. I talk about humour, shades of meaning and playing about with status dynamics in your fiction (and life!).
