This week Anna and Sam are chatting all things writing with Jo Clegg. Listen to hear Jo read an extract from her brand new book, as well as how writing is like decorating the kitchen and for a wonderful tip for getting yourself unstuck.

Jo’s brief stint as a stand-up comic ended when a promoter told her she was really funny until she got on stage. After ten years as a producer in TV and radio comedy, Jo became a scriptwriter. She writes for children’s TV shows including BAFTA and Emmy-award winning Hey Duggee.

Her first novel The Summer Holiday features difficult-to-remove wetsuits, a weaponised macaroni cheese, adequacy issues, comparison, over-packing and regrettable impulsive acts. Her brand new novel Here Comes the Sun is out beginning of August. She lives in London with her family.
