Lucy Elizabeth Allan

I am a writer, researcher, tutor, education support worker, and occasional print maker. Born and raised in Glasgow, I am now based in Dublin, where I spend most of my time at the antique writing desk I found in Oxfam, looking out of my window at my favourite tree and worrying it’s going to blow over in the wind.

I have a creating writing master’s from Trinity College Dublin, and I recently graduated with a DFA in creative writing from the University of Glasgow.

My first book, Skin Grows Over, was published by Ghost Orchid Press in 2022, and my short fiction has been published in magazines including Gutter and Channel.
