Back from my fourth at Moniack Mhor in the Scottish . My most productive yet – 4000 words thanks to magical combination of solitude and community, writing hard all day and chatting with fellow authors at mealtimes. Highly recommend Moniack Mhor if you can find a space on an untutored retreat

@VictoriaMAdams I really recommend it. What's brilliant is that a lot of the staff are also writers and they know exactly what writers in a fugue state need! Brilliant food, conversation when you want it, plenty of alone time and silence to write (or to wait for the story to come to you.)

@VictoriaMAdams only when I'm on the writing retreat! This is Moniack Mhor, Scotland's Creative Writing Centre in the Highlands.

I’m amazed and delighted to share that Hindsight has been longlisted for the Highland Book Prize.
It’s such a thrill to have my work sitting alongside such illustrious writers.
