I’m so excited to be in conversation with Judy Murray at a forthcoming Tidelines Book Festival event (Monday, 11th September at the Harbour Arts Centre in Irvine).
I’ll be chatting to Judy about her debut novel, The Wild Card.
I previously interviewed Judy for my film about her close friend, Elena Baltacha, the Scottish tennis superstar who tragically died of cancer when she was just thirty years old.
It will be lovely to talk to Judy about her writing, and all the other exciting things going on in her life just now.
Tickets are sold out so if you’re not coming along I hope you can grab a copy of the book!
I’m a novelist and award-winning documentary filmmaker.
My debut novel, 'The Birds That Never Flew', was shortlisted for the Dundee International Book Prize and longlisted for the Polari First Book Prize. 'Almost Then', my second novel, was published by Linen Press in April 2021.
I write, produce and direct documentary films and won Royal Television Society Scotland awards in 2015 with 'Jock Stein' and for 'Jim Baxter' in 2016. 'Jimmy Johnstone' was nominated for a bronze Torc for Excellence in 2017. My feature length documentary film 'Tommy Burns won a Royal Television Society award in 2019 and 'The Women Who Built Glasgow City' won the same award in 2021.
I made two children who are now making children too. That's the biggest achievement of all. I live in Glasgow, Scotland and Rathlin Island, Ireland.
