The Writing Life – conversations with writers from the Royal Literary Fund

What does it really mean to be a writer? Using readings from the Royal Literary Fund’s Vox archive to kick off this candid conversation, Northern-based writers and RLF Fellows Zoe Howe, Paul Adam and Susan Elliot Wright discuss their experience of the writing life, including what keeps them going, what they do when the going gets tough, and how they balance writing with everyday responsibilities. Whether you're a writer, reader, or simply curious, this panel offers personal insights and honest reflections on the highs and lows of how writers live.
