This month’s episode is our chat with the late Christopher Priest, who sadly passed away on 2nd February 2024.

Christopher was a hugely acclaimed author, with work spanning a vast universe, and it was fascinating to speak to him about his process.

Great to speak to Daisy for ep 56. Listen now to hear our conversation about shutting out the world during writing time, having a spouse as first reader, how notes come together, and the different nudges that fiction and non-fiction give you as a writer.
