Take This for the Pain: Essays on Writing and Life is now out in the world. I’m grateful to Another Story for hosting the launch, and glad it was a casual chat with my editor Jim Johnstone with excellent questions from Jim. The book has had good reviews at The Woodlot (my thanks to Chris Banks) as well as Hippocampus magazine (my thanks to Renee K Nicholson). An interview I did has appeared with the people at On Creative Writing that’s generally about modelling the clear, accessible style of Orwell.
