The BLB Podcast is a new project from Brick Lane Bookshop where we interrogate the short story form. We talk about why we love short stories, the writing process and how to get published.
In this first episode, co-hosts Kate Ellis and Peter J Coles chat to Isha Karki, who was shortlisted for the BLB Short Story Prize in 2019 and has since won numerous short story competitions, including the Galley Beggar Press, Mslexia and the Dinesh Allirajah Prize. Isha talks about the importance of experimentation, what she’s reading and how to find your weird.
