Kategould
In no particular order, I’m a writer, Beethoven groupie, feminist, campaigner for sex workers’ rights at SCOT-PEP, tattooed lady, etiquette fanatic, insatiable reader, and commissioning editor at The Fine Line. I spend most of my time reading in my flat overrun by pet rats, Georgia, Minnie and Olivia. I’ve been a research assistant to Germaine Greer and Shere Hite, MORI pollster, book critic, magazine editor, over-worked publishing intern, nanny, English teacher, and hotel critic. The best insult I’ve ever heard is “buckle-bunny wannabe” and the best thing I’ve ever eaten is the raspberry cheesecake in Gaia on Leith Walk. I have a regular spot at Good Vibrations writing about the fun things you can do with a fuck buddy.
