Calum Greenall is a mental health nurse and self-published author. His award-winning debut picture-book, Sam’s Stormy Night is the first in a four-part series, with the second, Barry’s Broken Dam out now. Along with other self-publishing projects, Calum is also in the process of trying to secure a traditionally published contract.

In the 117th episode of The HYBRID Author Podcast host Joanne Morrell, author of children’s and young adult fiction, women’s fiction and short non fiction for authors, Joanne chats to Calum about:

• how creative writing balances out low energy from our responsibilities
• aspirations to write a full-length manuscript and how to succeed in between life commitments
• Calum’s books and tips for authors trying to write in between raising a family, working in an emotionally draining job and juggling life’s obilgations
