Mandy will be the Makar's Guest Reader

Mandy is delighted to have been invited to be the guest reader at a prestigious course run by the Arvon Foundation.

Liz Lochhead, the new Scottish Makar, or national poet, will teach a course with Tom Leonard, at the Moniack Mhor writing centre, in 2012.

It is conventional for the tutors on these courses to invite a guest reader, and Liz and Tom have invited Mandy to be theirs. She is very proud to accept!
