Hello!

My name is Kerrie McKinnel. I am a writer based in south-west Scotland. My writing tends to be character-driven, present-day fiction with a focus on family and relationships. I read and write in whatever spare time I have left after I’ve done my “real” job – looking after my two young children!

I run creative writing workshops and events, and in 2018 I became the events manager for my local writing group, Lockerbie Writers.

You’re probably reading this page for one of two reasons …

Perhaps you’re interested in one of my upcoming creative writing workshops or events – or you’d like me to run a workshop specifically for your school, workplace or community group? If so, a great place to start is with my list of past workshops, where you’ll find details about some of the workshops and events which I have previously been involved in. If you already have an idea of what you’re looking for then please get in touch to discuss your requirements.

Or perhaps you want to find out more about me? Please browse the site at your leisure: you’ll find details of my past and upcoming workshops and events, publication history, and more. Please get in touch if you need any more information.

Thank you for visiting!
