About this episode
‘A paragraph made up of waiting…’
We join Sally this week in the process of editing her forthcoming work, Mrs Parnell, focusing in particular on a single paragraph. Listen for a meditation on the creation of space and time in writing, and how a text can carve out a space to pause.
The wonderful piano music in the opening section is ‘Doubt’, by Paul Seba. More on Paul and his work can be found here.
This episode was edited and produced by James Bowen.
Special thanks to Andrew Smith, Violet Henderson, Kris Dyer, and Maeve Magnus.
