Recorded live at When Words Collide 2025, I sat down with author Bradley Somer for a wide-ranging conversation that moves from the classroom to the page, and everywhere in between. Bradley reflects on the teachers who shaped his early love of storytelling, the creative highs and lows that every writer faces, and his winding journey from archaeology to the literary world.
They also explore the art of collaboration, the realities of today’s publishing industry, and how to navigate burnout while managing creative energy. It’s an honest, insightful, and inspiring look at the writing life from one of Canada’s distinctive literary voices.
