We are delighted to be joined by the wonderful wordsmiths Caroline Mentiplay and Özge Spike! Between them, they will be producing a monthly blog for your online enjoyment. You can read more about these two fantastic additions to our team below.
P.S. There is room for more! If you have a burning blog idea, we are very open to guest pitches. We accept pitches from everyone regardless of previous experience. We love work that ties in with our latest issue, pieces that discuss life as an underrepresented creative, or just work that shines a light on the wider creative scene in Scotland. Email production@littlelivingroom.co.uk today with your ideas...
