Our first episode featured writer, artist and historian Nazneen Ahmed who shared with us her written piece about lockdown and her experience of time.
Nazneen writes fiction for children, creative non-fiction and poetry for adults, all of which are often inspired by the theme of migration, which was the topic of her work as an academic researcher and historian at University College London and the University of Oxford. She is currently Writer in Residence with the Southampton Stories project at Southampton City Museums and has held residences at John Hansard Gallery and Southampton City Libraries in the past. She runs writing workshops in schools, libraries and community settings. She was selected for the 2016/17 round of Penguin Random House’s Write Now Live mentorship scheme for underrepresented writers for her historical fantasy novel in progress, which is aimed at readers aged 11 upwards. She is represented by Louise Lamant at LBA Books
