About this episode

Jackie Ess discusses her online experiences and their impact on her writing, alongside topics like AI and Palestine aid.

This week, we’re joined by novelist Jackie Ess to talk about her early online experiences and how it influenced her writing and craft. Jackie talks to us about constructing semi-fictional characters on Twitter, and what happened when an academic journal took it at face value. She also talks about how her posting has changed over the years, and how much of her life online incorporates playing the piano. We also talk about Richard Dawkins falling in love with an AI and how even the most ardent of disbeliever only wants one thing: For a woman to praise their work in progress novel.
