• Writers on Writers

    Come and experience our new event format, 'Writers on Writers', inspired by Variety's 'Actors on Actors'. In this format, two writers discuss what it means to be a writer. They will discuss their differences and similarities, their references, their goals and their struggles.

    It is a space where interested people, wannabe authors and fans of these authors can talk to them personally and ask questions about their craft. It's an opportunity to explore how different authors approach their stories, to recognise that there's more than one way to create a story, and to appreciate the uniqueness of each author.

    In our first session ever, we will be joined by crime and mystery authors Emma Christie and Tim Parfitt.

  • About Emma Christie

    Emma Christie was born and raised in a book-filled house in Cumnock, an Ayrshire coal-mining town.

    After quitting her law degree to study literature and medieval history at Aberdeen University, she spent five years working as a news reporter with one of the UK’s top-selling regional daily newspapers, The Press and Journal.  

    Her debut novel THE SILENT DAUGHTER was shortlisted for the McIlvanney Prize for Scottish Crime Book of the Year 2021, shortlisted for the Scottish Crime Debut of the Year 2021 and longlisted for the Crime Writers Association John Creasey (New Blood) Dagger Award 2021.

    All novels are standalones but based in one of Emma’s favourite places: Portobello, Edinburgh’s captivating seaside community.

    Emma is founder of the popular Diary Of A Debut Novelist festival – a series of online events aiming to promote and inspire new UK authors. She also established the Caledonia Crime Collective, a group of seven Scottish writers hoping to support new voices in the tartan noir genre - and beyond. She’s also a member of the Crime Writers Association. She’s written for national UK newspaper The Independent, the Herald Scotland and the UK’s oldest book trade magazine The Bookseller. She’s been interviewed for the BBC’s The Sunday Show and appeared as a panel member on BBC Debate Night. In the US she was featured on the popular PBS travel programme The Curious Traveller. She’s also written numerous true history scripts for award-winning podcast company Noiser.

    Emma lives in Barcelona with her girlfriend Mari, a yoga teacher. They spend most weekends exploring the mountains and coastline of Catalonia in their beloved campervan, Poncho.
