Description

I’m Sumayya Usmani, award-winning author and writing mentor, who ditched a legal career for a creative one in my 40s. I believe it’s never too late to follow the path you’ve been chosen to pursue. Are you an aspiring author or writer longing to follow the creative path? The Craft is is a podcast for the curious creative and the daring dreamer - I hope that this podcast helps you take the steps towards realising your writing dreams.

Join me twice a month here, as I share insights, inspirations and ideas about the craft and creative life.
