This week we talk to author Yvonne Battle-Felton about growing up in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, completing a PhD while raising three children, the differences between writing for children and writing for adults and what you can learn about writing in universities vs the school of life. We also talk in depth about her Women's Prize for Fiction shortlisted novel Remembered, delving into Yvonne's writing process and the inspiration behind the novel.
On the 28th of May 2022 Yvonne will be teaching Speaking to the Shelves, an online writing workshop at The Leeds Library.
