Over True Voyage Is Return

Throughout October 2024, writer Philip Holyman invited eight other professional authors — along with members of the public from across Birmingham and the Black Country — to create pieces for an anthology of brand-new work. Each contributor responded to a broad inspirational theme, a four-word quote from Ursula K. Le Guin’s iconic novel The Dispossessed — True Voyage Is Return. The works they produced are as unique and individual as the writers themselves — and you can read them all over at philipholyman.com.You can also hear from some of the amazing people who took part, right here in this ten-episode podcast. We’ll be digging deeper into each writer’s journey, both during this project and across their career. We’ll also be exploring their radically different experiences of creating new work under some truly unusual circumstances.True Voyage Is Return was produced in partnership with University of Birmingham, and the podcast was produced in partnership with Midlands Arts Centre. The entire project was supported using public funding by Arts Council England. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

True Voyage Is Return — Episode 10 — Anthology

This episode features extracts from some of the 45 works featured in the anthology — poems and short stories, a memoir and a novel. You’ll hear (amongst other things) about queer romances on planets which are about to collide with each other, solarpunk mysteries on board the world’s first transatlantic train, awkward reunions for Eighties girlband members, near-death experiences on rafts adrift in shark-infested seas, sinister secrets behind the smooth running of an isolated village, and succinct advice for anyone contemplating doing anything remotely creative. Throughout October 2024, writer Philip Holyman invited eight other professional authors — along with members of the public from across Birmingham and the Black Country — to create pieces for an anthology of brand-new work. The public could write wherever and whenever they liked. The professionals, however, were tasked with writing in real time, in full view, in the busy cafe of The Exchange, a grand city centre building which was once Birmingham’s Municipal Bank.

True Voyage Is Return — Episode 9 — Philip Holyman

This episode features theatre and fiction writer and True Voyage project leader Philip Holyman, who talks (amongst other things) about attempting to write an entire novel in a month — the tyranny of word counts — not standing in the way of your own work — writing characters whose values you find repellent — sex scenes, who's doing what and what they're doing it with — turning up the volume on story details, Ina Garten-style — falling in love with your characters and then killing them off.
