I am so excited to share today’s discussion with award-winning writer Kit De Waal. Kit shares what it was like growing up in Birmingham with an Irish mother and an African-Caribbean father, and the process of rewriting her story in a memoir. We discuss the struggles of being from a working-class background when pursuing a career as a writer and how a key component to wellbeing is having someone believe in you and your ambitions. We chat about the multiple ways that stories can be told aside from writing and how snobbery to this is what prevents people from ever trying. How do you find the persistence to keep going when there’s no guarantee of being published? Are you willing to start over, let go of a novel that isn’t working and try something new? We talk about all of the above and more in today’s episode. Check out her website & books here Follow Kit on Instagram here Follow Kit on Twitter here
