Whose stories are you reading? What's going to change that?

Publisher Sharmaine Lovegrove, Head of Dialogue Books and co-founder of Black Writers Guild, talks to Claire Doherty about her work to reform the publishing industry. They talk about the barriers to change, what Covid might spark in new fiction and when, the passion it takes to shake up the industry and their shared love of Michaela Coel's I May Destroy You.

Recorded remotely during Covid lockdown in Summer 2020.
