Martin Raymond is a writer living in Milnathort, Kinross-shire where he and his dog walk every day in the hugely under-rated Eastern Ochils. That said, he never tires of travelling to Wester Ross. His first novel, Lotte, was recently published by Indie Novella and his short stories have appeared in New Writing Scotland 37, 38, 41 and 42, Causeway/Cabhsair and Source.
His work has been shortlisted for the VS Pritchett Short Story Prize, longlisted for the Watson, Little x Indie Novella Prize and Highly Commended in the Federation of Writers’ (Scotland) Short Story Prize. Martin has also collaborated with Scottish composer Aileen Sweeney on a number of projects – including the choral work, Breathing Place, broadcast on BBC Radio 3. He has an MLitt and PhD in Creative Writing, both from the University of Stirling.
