Juno Dawson

This week the show heads to Brighton with author, journalist and screenwriter Juno Dawson. Juno talks about going from a Bradford childhood to the classroom to bestseller lists, almost making it onto Big Brother 4, and auditioning for Pop Idol even though she can’t sing. Her three book picks are Tales of the City by Armistead Maupin, the book that persuaded her to move to Brighton, Michelle Paver’s chilling ghost story Dark Matter, and Noughts & Crosses by Malorie Blackman, which inspired her to start writing. She also tells the story behind Her Majesty’s Royal Coven. 📸 Instagram: @ / uponatimepod 🎵 TikTok: @ / uponatimepod ▶️ YouTube: @ / @uponatimepod 🌐 uponatimepod.com Hosted on Acast.
