Julia Bell and Gaylene Gould present a new series of monthly podcasts exclusively for the Writers Hub.

Julia Bell is a novelist and Senior Lecturer on the Birkbeck Writing Programme and Project Director of the Writers' Hub. She has published two novels for young adults - Massive and Dirty Work, both published by Macmillan in the UK. She also co-edited the bestselling Creative Writing Coursebook.

Gaylene Gould concentrates on what she loves and does best – writing, talking and listening. She is a fiction writer, and past student of the Birkbeck MA. She presents documentaries and reviews for Radio 4 and works as a creative coach with writers, arts organisations and the trailblazing The School of Life. Her mission is to excavate the quiet truths within ourselves and wider society.
