Hello.

Lindsay (she/her) is a writer based in Glasgow, Scotland. Her roots are firmly in the west coast, though she has been known to travel when the occasion calls. She writes about motherhood, the impact of intergenerational trauma and the interplay between the natural world and our mental health. 

​

Lindsay was the recipient of a John Byrne Award in October 2022 and has been shortlisted for the 2022 annual Award. She was shortlisted for a Writers’ Award at the Scottish Mental Health Arts Festival in 2022 and was supported by Creative Scotland and ASLA's emerging writers' programme, Our Voices, in 2021. Her memoir, Held in Mind, is currently on submission with UK publishers. 

 

In her former life as a high school English teacher, Lindsay wrote for the Herald and BBC Bitesize. She is a regular voice on BBC Radio Scotland, and can (mostly) be trusted with a microphone. By day, she works at Scottish Book Trust and by night, performs more than her share of caring duties for her family’s many pets.
