Hi. I’m Kirstin and I write. I live in the West of Scotland with my partner and a squawking pile of small boys. My latest novel, Scabby Queen, is out now, published by 4th Estate.

My debut, Fishnet, won The Guardian’s Not The Booker prize in 2015 and is published by Black & White in the UK and Scout Press in the US and Canada.

My first non-fiction book, Brickwork: A Biography of The Arches, an oral history of the legendary Glasgow venue co-authored with David Bratchpiece, will be published in November 2021.
