Thank you for listening to Write On! Audio, the podcast for writers everywhere brought to you by Pen to Print

In this edition of Write On! Audio we have an interview with writer and academic Lisa McKenzie

Lisa was born and grew up in Nottingham before becoming an academic at Durham University. She is a working class writer and during the pandemic she co-founded the Working Class Collective, a group of writers and artists setting out to tell stories about the lives of working class people during the Covid lockdowns. She is the author of “The Estate we’re in : how working class people became the problem”
