In this inspiring conversation, Green Fire Press Publisher Jennifer Browdy talks with author and influential podcaster Manda Scott about why imagination plays a key role in changing our world for the better.

This interview is excerpted from a longer presentation recorded in December 2024 as part of the Humanity Rising Writing to Right the World Summit hosted by Jim Garrison of Ubiquity University.

Born in Scotland at 318ppm CO2, Manda Scott was once a veterinary surgeon and is now a novelist, smallholder, contemporary shamanic trainer and host of the international chart-topping Accidental Gods podcast and well as the co-creator of the Thrutopia Masterclass. Best known for the Boudica: Dreaming series of historical novels, her new Thrutopian novel, Any Human Power, is a ‘visionary and seismic’ mytho-political thriller. Woven through with Boudica-style dreaming, it maps out routes across the ghost-lines of tomorrow, in the hope that everyone else will walk them into paths of possibility. She lives with her wife in the liminal edge place between England and Wales.
