Developing your story, with Iain F. MacLeòid
Hiort by Iain F. MacLeòid is longlisted for the 2021 Highland Book Prize
Iain Finlay will lead a 75 minute workshop, where participants will get the chance to apply a number of techniques to developing one of their own ideas. Ideas should be at an early stage of development. As a group, we will discuss, question and interrogate each other’s ideas in a safe space, with the aim of furthering the boundaries of your story’s world.

Hiort
When the body of a young woman is found on one of the Flannan Isles, clues lead D.I.Cameron and pathologist Kate St John to the island of St Kilda. But this is a St Kilda that was not abandoned and a community are still living there in isolation with a suspicion of all outsiders. Danger and intrigue intertwine throughout the book as the plot unfolds to an unexpected outcome.
