In this episode Adelle Stripe and I talk about her writing process, living with another writer, working through self-doubt and the punk rock gardening club. We also give a shout out to 3:AM, Andrew Gallix, Ben Myers and Lee Rourke. 

Adelle Stripe is a writer based in West Yorkshire.
Her books include the Sunday Times bestseller Ten Thousand Apologies and Black Teeth and a Brilliant Smile, a fictionalised biography inspired by the playwright Andrea Dunbar. She has been shortlisted for the Gordon Burn Prize, Portico Prize for Literature and Penderyn Music Book Prize. As a journalist, she has contributed to The Quietus, TLS, New Statesman and Record Collector. She is a recipient of Manchester University's Burgess Fellowship.
