I wrote about Margot Bennett for SF Caledonia. Better known as a crime writer, she wrote two SF novels: The Long Way Back (1954) and The Furious Masters (1968). In the 1930s, she had been a communist who served with the British Medical Unit during the Spanish Civil War.

Margot Bennett by Nick Hubble – SF Caledonia

I'm hoping to announce some Hindsight book events in the next few weeks, but in the meantime, here’s what’s been said about the book so far. #HighlandBookPrize2022 #NonFictionWriting #ScottishWriting #ScottishWriters #HindsightBook #NatureWriting

Good time to get hold of Hindsight in hardback if you’re after it. It’s currently half price in Waterstones. Although I would also encourage checking your local Indie bookseller first. https://www.waterstones.com/book/hindsight/jenna-watt/9781780277455

I feel like my casting lists are out of date since the pandemic - who are the new / upcoming grads from NE or Highlands? Not for anything specific, but always looking for Doric speakers, and I work with music / movement a lot. I really need to get back on the showcase circuit but, in the meantime, do fire over any names that come to mind, please and thank you!

✨That’s Hindsight officially launched ✨
Friends were there from slightly different parts of my life and it was a beautiful thing to have them all in one room to this share this moment with them. And yes, I wore an ill fitting, badly altered , Depop purchase.

Applications are open for the Dr Gavin Wallace Fellowship - I was the 2017 fellow and it really changed my life to have a year of solid, supported writing time. Definitely do apply and I’m happy to answer any questions if I can help.

I thought I’d try & find an outfit for my book launch this week, but I find engaging with fast fashion 100% depressing. So everyone will have to put up with a poorly altered, slightly weird, second hand outfit instead.

Things are looking up, my favourite Scottish author has signed up! A.L. Kennedy's "Night Geometry and the Garscadden Trains" is one of the best collections of short stories ever, @Writerer #scottishwriting
