Ep.03-Mick Jackson

John talks to Mick Jackson, novelist, children’s author, and former musician whose debut was shortlisted for the Booker Prize.We talk about the strange magic that appears right after you’ve given up, the quiet power of simple ideas, and the rituals that make creativity possible. There’s wisdom here about voice, confidence, and the kind of patience that turns chaos into story.It’s a conversation about faith in the process - and the small, deliberate acts that keep imagination alive.
