Marisa Bate on writing the political and personal

Marisa Bate is a freelance journalist, women's rights advocate and author of Wild Hope. Part memoir, part reportage and part social history, Wild Hope tells the story of expanding and contracting women's rights in America through two bus journey's across the mid west - one by Marisa's mother in the 70s and the other, by Marisa in 2021. In this episode Marisa talks about finding hope in dark times, keeping faith in action and writing your own story when it so intertwined with the stories of others.LinksWild Hope - Marisa BateWriting About Women - Marisa Bate's substackNot Too Busy To Write on SubstackNon-fiction writing coaching with Penny - pennywincerwrites.comPenny on instagram @pennywincer
