Niamh Gordon

In 2018 I gained an MA in Prose Fiction from the University of East Anglia, and I began my funded PhD at the University of Glasgow in 2020. From 2020-2021 I co-edited the literary magazine From Glasgow to Saturn, and an early draft of my novel-in-progress was shortlisted for the 2021 North Lit Agency prize. In July 2024 I completed a week-long residency at Cove Park, funded by SGSAH.

I write a newsletter, notes from home, where I share writing largely on books, writing, and how I am coming to understand motherhood. If you would like to read it, you can subscribe here.
