On this episode, I speak with Farzana Doctor about her first poetry collection You Still Look the Same, published by Freehand Books in 2022*. We talk about the how she learned to market herself, how publishing a collection of poetry was a surprisingly relaxing experience (at least compared to publishing her four previous novels), and how the messes of her forties have broadened her ambitions as a writer.
Listen for a chance to win a copy of You Still Look the Same, courtesy of Freehand Books.
* In the introduction, I say 2021 by mistake.
