À propos de ce contenu audio

Throughout October 2024, writer Philip Holyman invited eight other professional authors — along with members of the public from across Birmingham and the Black Country — to create pieces for an anthology of brand-new work.


Each contributor responded to a broad inspirational theme, a four-word quote from Ursula K. Le Guin’s iconic novel The DispossessedTrue Voyage Is Return. The works they produced are as unique and individual as the writers themselves — and you can read them all over at philipholyman.com.


You can also hear from some of the amazing people who took part, right here in this ten-episode podcast. We’ll be digging deeper into each writer’s journey, both during this project and across their career. We’ll also be exploring their radically different experiences of creating new work under some truly unusual circumstances.


True Voyage Is Return was produced in partnership with University of Birmingham, and the podcast was produced in partnership with Midlands Arts Centre. The entire project was supported using public funding by Arts Council England.

    • True Voyage Is Return — Episode 1 — Catherine O'Flynn
      Apr 14 2025

      This episode features novelist, children’s book author and all-round Birmingham literary icon Catherine O’Flynn, who talks (amongst other things) about the differences between English and American editors — ignoring and then taking an agent’s advice — child stars — the dreaded Second Album Complex — the vital importance of libraries and the ongoing battle to save them from closure.

The public could write wherever and whenever they liked. The professionals, however, were tasked with writing in real time, in full view, in the busy cafe of The Exchange, a grand city centre building which was once Birmingham’s Municipal Bank.

      This episode features visual storyteller Charlotte Bailey, who talks (amongst other things) about free writing — nutmeg, family farms and the resource curse — self-publishing and commercialism — the peculiarly British stigma around writing comics — community and creative connections — the impact of becoming a mother on the practicalities of the writing process.
