Future Perfect: The EWF Podcast

Future // going or likely to happen or exist. Perfect // as good as it is possible to be.

Future Perfect. We think it means something like: keep writing, keep thinking, keep trying, keep telling stories – that’s how the future gets made.

In the lead up to the 2017 Digital Writers’ Festival, we’re bringing you this brand new podcast where we’ll be asking storytellers about what they do, how they do it, and why. Hear from all tomorrow’s voices, right here.
