Description

Welcome to our fortnightly podcast, where we delve into the vibrant world of contemporary writers and the literary life they lead. Offering a deeper and more nuanced perspective on the writing journey, we go beyond the surface often presented in the media. This season, we're thrilled to feature an exceptional lineup of special guests, including best-selling author and Women's Prize founder Kate Mosse, poet and artist Ella Frears, Royal Court Associate Playwright Ishy Din, WritersMosaic Director Colin Grant, and the award-winning author Deepa Anappara. Plus, enjoy extracts from our archive, showcasing our writers reflecting on their creative processes. Join us for honest and heartfelt discussions about the triumphs and challenges of putting words to the page. Whether you're a reader, writer, or simply curious about the art of storytelling, find solidarity, and inspiration with the Royal Literary Fund's Collected podcast. © 2025. All rights reserved.
