Scottish Writers' Centre In Process Masterclass with Ian Stephen

Ian Stephen’s debut novel, A Book of Death and Fish (Saraband, 2014), was a book of the year in the Guardian (Robert MacFarlane) and the Herald (Candia McWilliams). His Western Isles Folk Tales (illustrated Christine Morrison, 2014) was described by Canadian storyteller Dawn MacFarlane as ‘brilliant and compelling historical artistry in word and illustration!’. Ian represented Scotland in Canada’s Commonwealth Poets United, 2014, and presented poetry and stories at the Australian Wooden Boat Festival, Tasmania, in 2015. His current project is a non-fiction work which draws a comparison between storytelling and navigation, funded by a bursary from Creative Scotland
