Commonwealth Short Story Prize 2024: an interview with Jayne Bauling
2024-05-22"I don’t plot extensively, but rather begin with the merest idea; for me, it’s the act of writing itself that unlocks the story. Once I’ve finished a story and submitted it, I feel that it is no longer mine alone, so I try not to think about it too possessively."
