It’s great to be back once again to host and perform at Granite Noir’s spoken word night on Friday 21st February! This time I’ll be joined by RJ Hunter, Lesley Benzie, Gen Carver and Mae Diansangu🩸Tix via Aberdeen Performing Arts - search “Into the Night” 📚

Ace start to the year working on the “A Play for Torry” project alongside fellow writers Mae Diansangu and Emer Morris, and everybody who came along to the schools and community workshops ✍️🎭 Next up is two weekend-long writing residencies at Scottish Sculpture Workshop 🙌🏻

Buzzin to have got my hands on my copy of Fierce Salvage ahead of its January release! Great to share pages with Mae Diansangu, Heather Parry, Colin Herd, Ely Pearce, Hannah Nicholson and many more 😍 Get your copy from @404ink.bsky.social

Great day seeing some of my MLitt in Creative Writing students graduate on campus at the University of Aberdeen - thankful the snow was gone this week... Future writing stars in the making! (One already onto her PhD!)

Post you from a different era.
My leather phase (on the right; terrified wee bro in the middle. Trio of terrible fringes). Mid-90s.

So glad Northwords Now is back up and running! And a nice surprise to see a wee advert for DWAMS on the back cover 💖

So glad we managed to do LR Lam’s Winter WayWORD event last night before the snow got any worse. Was so much fun 🐉❄️

Felt very apt to bump into Jackie Kay at yesterday’s performance of Tero Buru in Glasgow and let her know I’m teaching her Bessie Smith biography to my undergrads tomorrow. She was chuffed 🥰
