Hi folks

On my mind

I love chatting about anything to do with writing, from practical tips to esoteric musings. I’d love to swap book recommendations or chat about the themes that keep coming out in my own writing (from precarious mental health to inequality, isolation and the cost of healthcare). I'm based in Edinburgh and very interested in the ways Scotland's literary scene compares to others around the world and would be very open to conversations of comparisons and discoveries. I’m also very open to hearing from aspiring writers who’d like to talk about rejection and resilience, . I’m also a freelance copywriter and enjoy chatting about the various hats many writers and creatives wear. Most of all, I’m keen to hear whatever you have to share.

Why I'm excited to talk

I’ve had the privilege to connect with a whole host of people who love books over the years and am confident that readers and writers are some of the most interesting folk around. I’m excited for the chance to chat to people about the things they care about, whether they're in my backyard or halfway across the world.

Let's chat,

Lynsey

Where I've written

Weak Teeth

Ellis’s life has crumbled without warning. Her boyfriend has fallen in love with someone else, her job’s insecure, her bank account’s empty and she has a mouthful of unreliable teeth. Forced back to her childhood home, there is little in the way of comfort. Her mum is dating a younger man (a dentist, no less) and is talking of selling the house, her sister, Lana, is furious all the time, and a distant cousin has now arrived from the States to stay with them.

During a long, hot Edinburgh summer, Ellis’s world spins out of control. She’s dogged by toothache, her ex won’t compensate her for the flat and somehow she’s found herself stalking his new lover on Facebook.

Will Ellis realise before it’s too late that the bite she was born with is worth preserving?

'There's a huge emotional punch packed into this deceptively light novel'

- Sally Morris, Daily Mail
