Not Too Busy To Write

Episode 19. Clemmie Telford on writing honestly and why everyone has a story to tell


Listen Later

Clemmie Telford is a former creative director, a content creator and podcast host of "But Why?" and her first book also called But Why? is about the big tricky questions and having honest conversations with yourself. We dive into structuring a book with a lot of big topics, writing honestly and vulnerably and embracing dyslexia. Clemmie started a blog many years ago called the "Mother of All Lists" which has grown into a platform for others to share their stories in list form - a way of writing which is accessible to so many, even those who never thought of themselves as 'able to write'.

*Apologies we had some technical issues while recording and there are a few dodgy sound moments - but please stick with it - it's such a great episode!*
