`A wonderful jigsaw puzzle of a book' Kirsty Gunn, Observer `A heartening touchstone for anyone doing anything in the least bit creative, The Beechwood Airship Interviews is funny, audacious, and most of all, inspiring' Melissa Harrison, author of Clay `A kind of miraculous manual, a brilliant answer to the simplest and most mysterious question art inspires: how do they do that?' Horatio Clare, author of Down to the Sea in Ships `Burnishing, edifying and relentlessly inspiring. A complex meditation on creativity as opposed to mere technique, full of wonderful, wildly grand statements from people who make excellent things. ' Emma Jane Unsworth, author of Animals `An engaging tale of the rhythms and rituals of cultural labour - and of what you can achieve if you have the gumption to ask' Marcus O'Dair, Caught by the River
