In the final Radiothon instalment of Literati Glitterati for 2023, Mel takes a look at memoir, mental health, and the breadth and depth of neurodiverse writing. Roz Bellamy, editor of Archer magazine, swings by the studio to tell us about their debut memoir Mood, their love of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and why it takes a community to write a book. And esteemed Triple R stalwart and author of Late Bloomer Clem Bastow wants to hear from you! Clem and co-editor Jo Case are seeking submissions to a new anthology of writing by autistic women and gender diverse writers, and they tell us why they’re excited by the possibilities of the form.
