Write Out Loud (Reviews and Writing)

As I announced earlier in the week, I was interviewed by Jen Bowden for Northern Voices.

In the interview I talked about my book, The Pukur, my life and work in Bangladesh, theatre and the difficulties facing writers in the north – specifically my neck of the words, Cumbria.

I hope you find the time to have a listen to at least some of it!
