Authenticity and cultural sensitivity in publishing have been the subject of fierce debate in recent years. Do writers write differently now, or has what publishers are willing to print shifted? And how do we view books written in the past? Mark Richards, co-founder and publisher of Swift Press and Alex Preston, author of A Stranger in Corfu and Winchelsea, for a nuanced discussion of publishing today, the role of sensitivity readers, and what novelists can write going forwards. Talking to bestselling author and BBC Front Row presenter Samira Ahmed.
