    S8E9 - Jo Bell

    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.

    S8E3 - Voice (Writing Ramble)

    On this episode, I talk about the emphasis on having 'a strong voice' as a writer, and how I think you should actually develop your voice as an author. I use US slam poetry as an example and finish by deconstructing impostor syndrome. Hope you enjoy it.
