We're back! By popular demand, our monthly podcast has returned, and we can't wait to tell you what we've been up to since our last episode...

FBS-Podcast-April-2014

Did you miss us? In this episode of the For Books’ Sake podcast, we’ve got an extract from the new audiobook of Feral Youth by Polly Courtney, read by spoken word performer and slam poetry champion Deanna Rodger.


Then we’re taking a look at this year’s World Book Night titles (including my personal highlights Hello Mum by Bernadine Evaristo and Geezer Girls by Dreda Mitchell).


Next up, find out about the prison memoirs you have to read, and how many hundreds of entries we received in response to our call for submissions to our first poetry anthology, Furies.


Plus there’s loads more exciting opportunities for writers to get involved with, and a birthday tribute to experimental author Kathy Acker featuring a Paris Records track from the album Redoing Childhood.


Thanks for listening, and don’t forget to let us know what subjects you’d love us to tackle in the next For Books’ Sake podcast episode!
