Description
In this episode, Emma speaks to Habiba Desai and Sara Razzaq, creators of Northern indie press Fox and Windmill, who have recently released their first book Into the Wilds. We discuss the process of setting up a press, the importance of being passionate about the work you do, as well as some of the challenges faced so far, and lessons they’ve learnt along the way. Brought to you by SYP North, we discuss the work they’re doing to promote marginalised voices with a focus on their perceptive as a northern press.
