Inhaltsangabe

You've heard the damning statistics: the number of working-class creatives has halved since the 1970s; 80% of journalists come from upper-class backgrounds; 78% of working-class writers say their background has hindered their careers.

In this essay collection, 33 writers tell their side of the story. From novelists to journalists, ghostwriters to games writers, artists, screenwriters and poets, these pieces unravel the knotted subject of class, shaped by lived connections spanning the UK, Ireland, Pakistan, Somalia, Canada, the USA, the Netherlands, Singapore, the Czech Republic and beyond.

Together, they argue for reinclusion. Not just for the survival of working-class writers, but for the survival of writing itself.
