Yesterday I created another blog for the great bunch of guys at Erskine Writers. This is a writing group I joined in September. We meet every week and when we don’t have a visiting writer/publisher, we share our writing and provide general support.
The AGM was held yesterday and I was voted on to a sub post as website coordinator because apparently I am good at that sort of thing. But now I have mucked up not only my blog but the Get Reel blog too. One wonders if they made the right choice after all
Moira McPartlin’s debut novel The Incomers, published by Fledgling Press in 2012, was shortlisted for the Saltire Society First Book of the Year Award. Over the next seven years Moira wrote her speculative fiction, Sun Song Trilogy novels (also published by Fledgling Press). The novels, set in 2089, reflect many issues we face today. Moira’s last novel, Before Now: Memoir of a Toerag, is written entirely in the Fife dialect and was published by her own imprint, Trilleachan Press, in May 2021.
In 2021 she became a writing fellow at Hawthornden Castle. In 2022 she was appointed the Scriever for The Federation of Writers (Scotland), and in 2024 was the recipient of a Bridges Award, a residency at Cove Park, Argyll. Her short stories and poetry have been widely published in literary magazines and anthologies.
Moira’s latest publication, A Thing So Delicate: The Hidden Voices of Scotland’s Mass Concrete Viaducts, is a collaboration with her husband, Colin. It is a hybrid about the social history surrounding the building of Scotland’s Victorian mass concrete viaducts. This includes creative nonfiction, prose, poetry, and photography.
Moira is listed on the Scottish Book Trust Live Literature Database.

I’ve fixed it – doah. It was simple, it was all originating from my profile which I inadvertently changed.Back to work on the other blog now, this could be a whole new learning experience.
