Previously on Lockdown Litfest, multi-talented Festival favourite Curtis Jobling took us through his artist’s journey. This week, from his bespoke writer’s den in Cheshire, he talks to author and broadcaster Simeon Courtie about writing for page and screen. Curtis traces his journey from art-school uber-nerd to bestselling author of epic Young Adult fantasy novels, showing us that creativity is compatible with the passionate embrace of influence, from genre tropes to the local legends of the British Isles.
