A lively and insightful conversation exploring the world of books, writing and creativity, as Flora Reese joins Nancy Stevens to discuss everything from literary festivals to the realities of publishing. With the Milton Keynes Literary Festival just around the corner, Flora shares what goes on behind the scenes, how the programme comes together, and why community engagement sits at the heart of it all.
The discussion dives into the rise of self-publishing, how authors are navigating the industry today, and why independent writers are gaining more recognition than ever. There’s also a spotlight on the MK Indie Book Fair and the exciting “Raising Voices” project, which is mapping stories across Milton Keynes in a unique and interactive way.
Along the way, there’s plenty of chat about favourite books, writing techniques, and how storytelling continues to bring people together across generations. Whether you're an avid reader, an aspiring writer, or simply curious about the creative process, this episode offers a fascinating look into a thriving literary community.
