Latest Spoken Label session features the amazing Scarlett Ward.
Scarlett advises "I have been writing poetry for 10 years, and was first published by Verve Poetry Press in 2019. In 2022 I was shortlisted for Women Poet's Prize, and I have come runner up in several prizes such as The Spellt poetry prize, verve prize and Wolverhampton literature festival. I ofted give poetry workshops to schools and have recently ran a series of workshops with the BBC and Verve Poetry Festival.
I set up my own publishing company called Fawn Press in 2021, and I work to discover emerging and under-represented writers in the community to produce their books. Fawn Press was nominated for a Saboteur award in 2022.
I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2021, when I fell into a coma and had to learn how to walk, talk, read, write and even eat again. I worked to overcome these challenges and now live with my chronic illness. I am passionate about raising awareness about this disease as I was misdiagnosed with "anxiety and period hormones" when I first started to display symptoms.
I am a queer writer, and find great strength in my poetry as a woman who loves women."
