First Word #10: Adam Thompson

  • サマリー

  • It was an enormous privilege to have Adam Thompson, author of the incredible short story collection Born Into This, join me for the last episode of this season of the podcast. We caught up over Zoom to talk about creating and experiencing joy in fiction, writing in service of your community, and what happens when you stay open to opportunity.

    Adam mentions Nathan Maynard’s play The Season as the catalyst that turned him on to writing as a viable creative pathway. We briefly discuss Adam’s short story Honey, which won him the Tamar Valley Writers Festival award, and which he’s kind of sick of talking about (though that shouldn’t stop you reading it, it’s amazing). The mentorship program that catapulted Adam into his current career is the Wheeler Centre’s Next Chapter program. Adam mentions Tony Birch, Edgar Allan Poe, H.P. Lovecraft, Stephen King and Kate Kennedy as short story authors he loves, and shouts out Wells Tower’s collection Everything Ravaged, Everything Burned as a book he returns to over and over.
