Shahnaz Ahsan | Award winning author on how to become one

In this episode, we welcome our first author to the podcast! Shahnaz Ahsan's first novel "Hashim & Family" was nominated for The Guardian's Not the Booker Prize, and her new book "The Jackfruit Chronicles" has just been released. She explains to us how she became an author after growing up in West Yorkshire in a British-Bangladeshi community, and how she navigated the world of literary agents to actually get her books on the shelves.
