It’s one month until we gather for Fantasycon in Chester, and to celebrate the summoning of SFFH fun we present this short interview with one of our Guests of Honour, short story specialist Priya Sharma. She chats with BFS Marketing & PR Officer Lauren McMenemy over on the BFS YouTube channel, or watch it below.
