Kirsty Neary‘s work is featured in Spilling Ink: Volume 1. She was born in 1986, and grew up in and around Glasgow. After a few false starts seeking to assuage the boredom of suburbia, she settled on writing as her preferred medium in which to invest her creativity, and her fisrst novel, The Stately Pantheon, was published by Wild Wolf in 2009. Whilst pursuing her studies at the University of Glasgow, Kirsty also writes, paints, makes films, takes photographs and performs her various works at events across Scotland such as Words Per Minute, Initial Itch, Forge of the Wordsmiths and the Wigtown Book Festival. As well as reading her own work, Kirsty has also been called upon to present talks on the craft of writing, and the industry itself, at writer’s networking events and discussion groups. Her short fictions are featured in magazines such as dotdotdash and Spilling Ink Review, for which she has also won prizes. She currently lives in Hamilton.
