FAILING WRITERS PODCAST WITH CLAIRE FULLER

The multi-award-winning writing podcast, hosted by self-confessed failing writers Tom Turner and Jon Rand, is coming to Alton Arts Festival! They’ve featured guests such as bestselling authors Gillian McAllister and Danny Wallace, comedy-folk like Adam Buxton and Jessica Knappett, poets Michael Pedersen and Ian McMillan, BAFTA winners like Sally Wainwright and Jeremy Dyson, and even Emily Brontë! (sort of). Each episode provides support for writers navigating the creative process, and giving them a darn good chuckle along the way.

The team will be recording a live podcast, in discussion with Costa novel prize winner Claire Fuller – at Goldfinch Books, an independent bookshop, café and creative community hub on Alton’s High Street.

There will be laughter. There will be genuine writing tips and insight. There will be a ditty or two. There will be lovely, writerly folk getting together in actual real life. There will be opportunities to talk about what you’re writing. Plus give-aways, poetry and even Tom’s very-very-serious-wordy-writery-quiz-thing!

If you write, whatever you write, we promise you’ll be glad you came.
