I was honoured to present at November's Hey! Stac at Belgrave in Leeds.
Having always felt that writing is a calling rather than a hobby, I asked if it's impossible to teach someone else to be a writer. Drawing on my inspiration and others', I considered the importance of self-belief, empathy and vision in writing creatively, and questioned whether these qualities are innate or conditioned.
