What do the words we really hate, really want to tell us? Dr Rachel Knightley takes the word that annoys her the most and spends time listening to what it might have wanted to tell her – and what listening to it might mean for her confidence and creativity.

Lavie’s work encompasses literary fiction (Maror, Adama, Golgotha and Six Lives), cross-genre classics such as Jerwood Prize winner A Man Lies Dreaming and World Fantasy Award winner Osama, and genre works like the Campbell and Neukom winner Central Station.

One thing at a time, or freedom to flip between? What system of working really summons your creativity and what gets in the way? Dr Rachel Knightley wants to hear from you.

Dr Rachel Knightley is joined by her client, award-winning true crime writer and researcher, Sarah Bax Horton. Sarah is currently appearing in Lucy Worsley’s Victorian Murder Club on BBC2. The three-part miniseries is based on the subject of her second book Arm of Eve: Investigating the Thames Torso Murders (The History Press), for which she won the RBAM (Ripperology Books And More) Book of the Year 2024. Fascinated by genealogy, her discovery of a Whitechapel police ancestor inspired her identification of Jack the Ripper in One-Armed Jack: Uncovering the Real Jack the Ripper (Michael O’Mara Books).
