I’m thrilled and very grateful to have been selected as one of the writers to participate in Debut Lab, a new initiative from Scottish Book Trust and Creative Scotland which offers professional development support to writers whose debut has been affected by the pandemic.

Launching What You Call Free during lockdown came with many challenges, and it’s great now to have the opportunity to connect with and learn from industry professionals and from other writers in the same position.

We’ve had the first two sessions, and I’ve learned a great deal already as well as discovering a whole new group of talented writers and expanding my TBR list!

Here’s the press release from Scottish Book Trust which tells you a bit more about all the writers and their books.
