This week we celebrate all things Essex, as Chelmsford-born novelist and Chancellor of The University of Essex Dr Sarah Perry’s latest book Enlightenment is longlisted for the Booker Prize. We speak to writer and poet Sue Lesser about her writing and self-publishing journey, review Sarah Perry’s second novel The Essex Serpent and and listen to music from artists you may or may not know originated in Essex! Enjoy.
