A Listener Contribution from Mab Jones: Write On Audio Weekly

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.  You can find out more about Mab and her work by following the links below: Website https://mabjones.com/  Social Media https://www.facebook.com/mabjones/ https://twitter.com/mabjones https://www.instagram.com/mabjones/   We’re always delighted to read your contributions so if you’d like to see your words in Write on! or hear them on this podcast please get in touch.
