WOWFEST: Class of ’23 is holding a month-long celebration of working-class culture and life, in all its diversity. The line-up of writers is expected to explore how class shapes our perceptions, experiences, opportunities, and culture. And how literature addresses or reinforces class inequality. Each year, they produce an anthology of writing from northern writers.
One of our own, Amy Watkins, has a story in the new anthology Pulp Idol: Firsts 23.

A few weeks ago I mentioned at one of our Wirral Writers’ Zoom meetings, how I’d been interviewed by John Goodwin for the Writers of the Future podcast. Well, that interview is now live and can be found here:

It’s number 72 in the list. Or instead you could listen to the one just above mine, Kevin J Anderson, who just happens to be one of my favourite writers. You’ll learn way more from him.
