Who Is Kirsty Logan?

The New Yorker says that Kirsty Logan has too many books.

Kirsty is 26 and lives in Glasgow with her girlfriend, the musician/graphic designer Susie McConnell, in a flat full of guitars, chandeliers, and half-full notebooks.

Kirsty mostly writes about books and sex, both fictionally and non-fictionally.

Along with Helen Sedgwick, Kirsty co-founded and co-edits Fractured West, a new magazine for edgy and experimental flash fiction.

Kirsty is inspired by misheard song lyrics, genderqueer, going on bad dates, art history, angry girls of all genres and eras, self-indulgent indie epics, being told what to do by old men in ugly jumpers, chunky coffee-table photography books, and the sea.

She likes strong coffee, children's ghost stories, abandoned buildings, and toast and jam.

She dreams of one day being published by Virago, Vintage, Alyson, Soft Skull, or in one of those orange Penguins.
