Open Submissions Workshop #4: Finding inspiration, with Douglas Maxwell

A “garret playwright”, Douglas Maxwell has written in his own unusual way (i.e. – mostly unsolicited) for over twenty years and boasts The Whip Hand, Fever Dream: Southside and Charlie Sonata among his many successes. We talk about being an artist, being a “success” and the ever-present imposter syndrome. Big thanks to Douglas for taking the time out to chat to me, and to you for listening! If you can afford to and would like to, why not join a growing number of people who are chucking a few pounds a month into the pot to keep the podcast going? Click here to become a patron!
