Join us for our next Creative Access Masterclass with acclaimed author and journalist Sathnam Sanghera, in conversation with Creative Access alumni Helena Wadia, award-winning multimedia journalist and co-host of the Media Storm podcast.

From navigating the newsroom as a person of colour to unpacking Britain’s colonial legacy in bestselling books like Empireland and Stolen History, Sathnam’s work has reshaped public discourse. This conversation will explore his journey from Wolverhampton to national acclaim, and the role of storytelling in challenging dominant narratives.

We’ll also delve into:

• Career reflections and practical advice
• Writing across genres, from memoir to history to children’s books
• Pitching, persistence, and making your voice heard

Whether you’re an emerging writer, journalist, or simply passionate about powerful storytelling, expect honest insights and essential advice for creatives at any stage.
