Born in Dundee, I gallivanted for a few years before landing back beside the Tay in Perthshire. I completed a BA (Hons), Arts & Humanities (Creative Writing) in 2025.

Writing for Wellbeing
I’m an Occupational Therapist and interested in writing for wellbeing. I’m on the committee of Lapidus Scotland which does amazing work promoting exactly that.
I’m also a trustee for The Wee Gaitherin poetry festival.
I post occasional writing news at the bottom of this page.
Karen Macfarlane’s impressive command of her craft transports the reader into her world to live those experiences with her, to share their pleasures, to encounter their challenges and to be the wiser for having done so.
