The room is lit by candles held in a wild array of candlesticks. A black finger of smoke escapes, adding to the ethereal haze of joints and cigarettes. The decoration is blood red, midnight blue; stars and crescent moons; gold, dangling on wrists and ears. Chanting.

We are deeply saddened by & condemn the attack at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue. Acts of violence have no place in our society. Politicians & the media must ensure their actions in the following days don't stoke division further. We must focus on the humanity that connects us all.

Alongside my writing I am also an editor (Beech Editorial Services). While a lot of my business comes from students, I have been critiquing fiction for years in my writers group.

Meta and the AIĀ threat
The Society of Authors have made today a day of protest against the theft of intellectual property (ie authors' words) by tech companies who are using work without the authors' permission and without any payment to the authors to train their AI. So today, I'm asking Meta to #dothewritething and pay authors appropriately (after gaining their permission) for using their work.

Scottish Association of Writers (theĀ Aftermath)
It's over a week now since the wonderful SAW conference (at the Westerwood Hotel). As with anything new, there is a bit of adjustment, and a bit of imposter syndrome (although I heard the term so often that I began to wonder if there is anyone who doesn't feel it). Friday started with socialising and meeting with my fellow adjudicators, then dinner and the first trance of announcements for the competitions.

Scottish Association of Writers 2025Ā Conference
Really excited to be heading off to the Scottish Association of Writers 2025 Conference. A whole weekend in the company of lovely writers can only be a good thing. I'm looking forward to meeting my fellow judges and hearing from the keynote speaker, Lesley Riddoch. I'm going to be delivering a workshop on using memory to inspire short stories.

Happy National Short Story Day - here's a gift from the Federation of Writers (Scotland) to all short story lovers

National Short Story DayĀ 2024
It's no coincidence that National Short Story Day falls on the winter solstice: the weather is miserable and today we have a whole seven hours of daylight in Glasgow, so what better time to sit and enjoy a short story. Over the last couple of weeks, I've had the pleasure (and occasional technological pain) of compiling a video of short stories…
