A Listener Contribution from Mab Jones: Write On Audio Weekly

Pen to Print - Podcasts for Aspiring Writers

Thank you for listening to Write On! Audio, the podcast for writers everywhere brought to you by Pen to Print.

Our Listener Contribution for January is from poet, novelist and presenter Mab Jones.

Described by The Times as a 'unique talent,' Mab is the winner of many accolades for her writing, including a Royal Society of Literature 'Literature Matters' Award, a Creative Wales Award, the Neil Gaiman Word Factory Short Story Competition, the Geoff Stevens Memorial Poetry Prize, the Aurora Poetry Prize, the Wolverhampton Literature Festival Poetry Prize and more. She has written for the New York Times, and has presented three poetry programmes on BBC Radio 4. A previous co-ordinator of International Dylan Thomas Day, she has also run the social media for world famous writer Wilbur Smith and the Wilbur & Niso Smith Foundation. Mab also offers mentoring, critique and feedback for writers, most notably through the Poetry Society.

Mab’s latest book “Bog Witch” encompasses nature writing, life writing, poetry and magical memoir from a working-class woman’s perspective whilst drawing from history, science, mythology and folklore. It is a lyrical, semi-mystical immersion into wild wetland areas.
