Chris McQueer is a Scottish writer and spoken art performer. Writing in the Scottish vernacular, he is known for his dark comedy and surreal humour. He is best known for his two published collections of short stories Hings and HWFG. His debut novel, Hermit, is out now.


We had a great chat with Chris, hearing about how he first decided to start writing his stories on Twitter, and why becoming a full-time writer wasn't all it is cracked up to be. We hear about why he has moved from short stories to novels, and why he wanted to write the story of a vulnerable young man in Hermit.
