Malachi McIntosh

Over the last year, Wasafiri's Publishing Director, Malachi McIntosh (with support by members of the Wasafiri team) has been hard at work designing and recording Craft – a literary podcast featuring a range of international writers, including Daniel Mella, Chen Chen, Bernardine Evaristo, and Raymond Antrobus. Craft removes the constraints of the interview form, allowing guests to explore their work and processes on their own terms, and creating an immersive and intimate experience for the listener. The first episode will be available on streaming platforms on November 3. Here, Malachi articulates the motivation for starting Craft, what he's learned from the process, and why it's so important in today's contemporary literary culture for writers of colour to be afforded the ability to shape the conversations around them and their work.
