How I Write: Daniel Sluman
Q&A and Reading

Saba Sams is the author of the story collection Send Nudes, which won the Edge Hill Short Story Prize 2022 and was shortlisted for the Dylan Thomas Prize 2023. She has also won the BBC National Short Story Award and been shortlisted for the White Review Short Story prize. She was named as one of Granta’s Best of Young British Novelists in 2023. Her work has been featured in publications including Granta, Stinging Fly and Five Dials. Saba’s debut novel Gunk (May 2025) explores ‘love and desire, safety and destruction, chaos and control – and family in all its forms’. During this How I Write session Saba will be reading both from her short fiction and he new novel, and taking your questions live.
Join us from the comfort of your sofa and listen to writers share their work, the stories behind their work, and invaluable writing advice directly from their desk (or maybe the kitchen table). And the best part? At the end, you get to ask them questions about their words, pick their brains on craft, and learn more about the business of writing. This session will be delivered via Zoom webinar, so you can take the session at your own pace, without the pressure of having your video or camera on. Sessions are also recorded so if you are unable to attend live, you will have access to the recording for a month afterwards.

I feel much more confident about short stories now! In such a short time I feel I was given such a great overview and the reader/tutor was so generous with their feedback and knowledge.— How I Write participant
Very lovely. It had an intimate feeling despite it being a Zoom event and all of us being in different places.— How I Write participant
