Orkney - at the edge of darkness and light

Orkney is wild and inspirational. It breathes life into characters and spins them to the four winds. The environment is intense, both connection and disconnection run deep – one thing is certain, in a small community you know your neighbours.

Gabrielle Barnby lives in Orkney and writes short stories, poetry and full length fiction. Her work has been included in numerous anthologies and magazines and she is twice winner of the George Mackay Brown Fellowship writing competition. Gabrielle has run creative writing workshops for many years, encouraging new writers and supporting creative discovery. She is Programme Leader for Wirdsmit, Orkney’s writing group for young people, and has a particular interest in writing for well-being.
