Dialect has a new podcast!

It's been a bit of a dream to start a Dialect podcast and with such a busy year behind us, now is the moment to make it happen just as the season turns.

Dialect's first ever podcast showcases our mentoring scheme with chats and readings from acclaimed novelists Mahsuda Snaith and Melanie Golding, poets Fiona Benson and Pascale Petit and the talented emerging writers who won their places on the scheme: Sarah Hemings, Keely O'Shaughnessy, Kate Keogan and Audrey Healey.

We really hope you enjoy listening! If you are a rural writer working on an interesting project and would like to be featured on a future podcast, please do get in touch.
