Meet Sylvia Bishop, author of ten novels for a variety of ages, short-listed and winning awards since 2017. We chat about writing for different age groups, performing comedy, writing workshops, Writers with Faces, and more.

Learn what it takes to establish a career in writing, how lonely writing can feel if you shut yourself away from the world, and ideas on how to combat that isolation.

Get to know Sylvia better with our New2theScene presenter and hear about discovering your passions and finding your people, not being afraid to leave university with a different plan to the one you entered with, and the importance of a balanced life.
