Podcast #7: Clare Fisher - Fiction Writing Workshop

Leeds Lit Fest is delighted to have commissioned ten new and original podcasts for the 2020 Festival funded by Leeds Inspired, part of Leeds City Council.

Five podcasts were recorded during the Festival itself and feature writers leading sessions in the ‘Inspiring the City’ workshop series. Each podcast features the writer talking about their preparation for the workshops they were leading in a range of venues around the city, their own experience in the form, as well as interviews with, and writing by, workshop participants.

Clare Fisher is the author of All the Good Things (Viking, 2017) and How the Light Gets In (Influx
Press, 2018). Her work has won a Betty Trask Award and been longlisted for the Dylan Thomas and
Edgehill Short Story Prizes. She is currently studying for a phd in Creative Writing at the University of
Leeds and is a Teaching Fellow at Queen Mary University London.
