Maya Jordan and Stephen Tuffin

Michael Sheen introduces 11 new writers from under-represented backgrounds on a journey to reveal truths from the margins of society. We'll hear from Maya Jordan, a neuro-divergent working class mother of six from Newtown, currently writing a novel about a goddess of the River Severn. And Stephen Tuffin, a former former butcher's boy, cook, cab driver, door-to-door salesman, care home assistant, road worker and builder now writing working-class stories inspired by the remarkable and raw world he's lived and worked in. Journalists Kevin Maguire and Siobhan McNally share their writing tips. And in a very special performance, Michael Sheen performs new work by the two writers profiled in the episode.
