  • The Unfiltered Story of Sebastian Faulks: Birdsong, Writing, Perseverance & World War I

    Sebastian Faulks is a multi-award-winning British novelist—Author of the Year at the British Book Awards, Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, and awarded a CBE—whose best-selling and critically acclaimed novels such as "Birdsong" and "Charlotte Gray" have been praised by major literary critics, adapted for stage and screen, and voted among Britain’s favourite books.

    What does it really take to become an author—obsession, stubbornness, a bit of madness? In this deeply candid interview, Sebastian Faulks, author of “Birdsong,” reveals his journey from a teenager dreaming of writing, to repeated rejection by publishers, to finally breaking through. He takes us inside the reality behind the advice, “Do work that feels like play to you, but looks like work to others.” For Faulks, writing was both: a relentless grind and a calling he couldn’t ignore.

    This episode is not just about becoming a writer, but about the grit to keep going when everyone laughs, doubts, or ignores you. Whether you’re obsessed with books, creativity, or simply wonder why some people never quit, Faulks’ story will challenge your idea of work, play, and creative purpose.
