Gaia Holmes and 'RESIST'

Rippling Pages: Interviews with Writers

'I did feel like I wasn't living my own life. I was in the world of Newbury and trees.'

These are some Rippling Pages Pilot episodes published in Summer 2020.

Gaia Holmes talks about her story, '198 Methods of NVDA', which features in Comma Press's Resist Anthology.

Rippling Points:

• Researching the environment to create your story's environment.
• 'Thisness' and how some elements of the story might refuse to be resolved.
