Writers’ Neuk is a mutually led writers’ group. Each of us has different skills, ambitions and needs plus a common willingness to help each other.
We are developing sub-groups where specific interests are explored at a pace that works for the people involved.

About us
Mac

Mac writes fiction (thrillers & historic fantasy), non-fiction, articles, blogs and poetry. His is a past Chair of the Society of Authors in Scotland. He is a founder member of Writers’ Neuk. A published author, he is in negotiations once more.
Andy

In the words of Bonnie Tyler, Andy has been “Lost in France”. Being a productive sort of guy, he has broadcast a weekly podcast on his beloved agriculture, in addition to a brand-new brood of lambs. Bravely, he gave NaNoWriMo a try. Rather him than me.
Joy
Joy has continued writing and amongst other things has finished the novel she started prior to lockdown. We look forward to a sneak preview. She has also continued with her Glasgow writing group, online.
Paul

Paul has completed his first full-length novel and is well into his second. He has continued writing academic books and producing his blog.
Catherine
Catherine has turned to reading and particularly recommends “Writing Down the Bones” by Natalie Goldberg, an American author and speaker who teaches all things writing, with a leaning towards Zen.
Jenny
Jenny has enjoyed returning to classics like Jane Eyre, favourites like Joanne Harris and Elizabeth Sprout, as well as new reads like Where the Crawdads Sing and The Midnight Library.
