Moira McPartlin

Although she was born in the Scottish Borders, Moira McPartlin was raised in a small Fife mining village. After years working for Shell Oil, she turned to writing full-time in 2005. Her writing has been widely anthologised in collections including Northwords Now, Crannog and others, and she is a subeditor of The Scottish Mountaineer magazine.

Moira McPartlin’s first novel, The Incomers, was published in 2012, and is set in Fife during the 1960s. She is one of the main organisers of Weegie Wednesday, a Glasgow based literary networking group. I am also the Finance Convenor of the Federation of Writers Scotland and on the editorial board of New Voices Press, the chief imprint of the Federation of Writers Scotland.

McPartlin now lives in Stirlingshire with her husband. A keen hillwalker, she has ‘bagged’ all of Scotland’s Munros.
