Just ICYMI:

@StoryshapedPod is on hiatus for the rest of 2023, much to @scahill and @SJOHart's regret - but we will be back. Look for new episodes in 2024, and in the meantime, check out our existing episodes. And keep seeking out stories!

Take a stroll through our episodes for S1 and S2 and see if there's anything you missed, or anything you'd like to listen to again. We've got some crackers: @EfuaTraore, @Hopewrites, @whatSFSaid, @FrancesHardinge, @Louiestowell, @sabineadeyinka and more. Thanks for listening!

This very day last year, a little introductory trailer to a little podcast called @StoryshapedPod went live. Its co-hosts (@scahill and @SJOHart) were quite nervous, but they believed in the stories. And now? We're 1!

Happy birthday, Storyshaped.

[SF Said @whatSFSaid]

Which books really shaped you, and made you who you are? When you ask people this question, they will almost always mention children's books. That's why I believe children's books are the most impotant books of all - and why I've dedicated my life to writing them!

We love these top tips on writing from this week's @StoryshapedPod guest, @whatSFSaid. Check them out! (And don't forget to pop in and have a listen to our chat with the brilliant SF, too.)

[SF Said @whatSFSaid]

I believe the books we love when we're young are the ones that shape us at the deepest levels, and make us who we are. So I was delighted to discover a podcast all about this, and to talk about the stories that shaped me! @StoryshapedPod @SJOHart @scahill
