S3 Ep100: Celebration Special: My Writing Life - with Steph Caswell
Update: 2025-06-08
Description
This episode is a little different. And a little brilliant (if I do say so myself).
Because for Episode 100, I’m flipping the mic — and being interviewed by someone who knows me almost better than I know myself!
That someone is the utterly brilliant Kay Ribeiro — journalist, editor, scriptwriter, BAFTA judge and all-round creative powerhouse — and also one of my oldest (and dearest) friends.
She was given free rein over the questions, and what unfolded was a rather marvellous conversation.

In this episode, we chat about:
- My earliest storytelling memories
- Leaving my career in teaching to chase the writing life
- The non-glamorous truth about writing book #1
- What writing courses have taught me about rejection, resilience, and rewriting
- Why I went back to non-fiction when I’d lost my spark
- Imposter syndrome, perfectionism, comparisonitis — and how to wrangle them all with a pen
- Writing habits, word-count tracking, and my spreadsheet love affair
- My fiction WIP (yes, I’ve finally dusted it off)
This isn’t just a podcast milestone — it’s a little time capsule of the last 100 episodes, the journey I’ve been on, and the creative lessons I’ve learned (sometimes the hard way).
A big thank you for being here on this journey - I’m beyond grateful.
I hope you enjoy listening.
