She’s a Scottish Book Trust New Writers Awardee, Shirley Jackson Award and British Fantasy Award Finalist, and former Hawthornden Fellow.

We had a great chat with Lyndsey in our studio, hearing about how she has written 100 published stories (!), the differences in writing short and long fiction, as well as dealing with the ups and downs of the publishing industry. We talk about dealing with rejection, changing agents and why she always like to have a dark element to her stories.
