AL KENNEDY

The profound and lyrical voice of Dundonian Alison Louise Kennedy found its way to the page in her Warwick University student days. Her talent has taken her from working in Project Ability and judging the Booker, to creative writing lecturer at St Andrew’s University. She rails against such deceptive things as awards, yet has them by the bucketful. having a razor sharp opinion on everything from the evil of profit-hungry publishing to a writer’s loneliness, Kennedy is a Scottish literary legend.
