Hello! I'm Kirsty Logan, an award-winning, widely-published writer of short fiction and journalism. I'm currently working on my first novel and a short story collection.

My writing has been published in around 80 anthologies and literary magazines, and broadcast on BBC Radio 4. I'm represented by Johnson & Alcock literary agents.

I co-edit flash fiction magazine Fractured West, and write a weekly column for IdeasTap. I also review books for We Love This Book.

I'm 28 and live in Glasgow with my girlfriend, musician/graphic designer Susie McConnell.

I like strong coffee, children's ghost stories, electronica, retold fairy-tales, and the sea. I dream of one day being published in one of those orange Penguin paperbacks.

Glass Woman

I'm thrilled to say that I have been named as a finalist in the Eleventh Glass Woman Prize for my story 'Tiger Palace'. I'm such a fan of this prize and of its organiser, the fabulous Beate Sigriddaughter.

On Grimes and Vaginas

My latest IdeasTap column is on Grimes (AKA Claire Boucher) and her rather fabulous vagina rings. Read on to see why I think that genitalia jewellery is a good thing for women.
