Dreams come true… eventually

This drone footage shows my old secondary school before, during and after demolition.

Teenage me would have preferred to see it done with rockets, but you can’t have everything.

My name’s Carrie, and I live in Glasgow. I’m a freelance journalist, columnist, author, copywriter, scriptwriter and radio talking head, and I write features, news stories and tutorials about technology, the Internet and pop culture for lots of magazines and websites as well as advertising copy for small businesses and multinational corporations alike.

My debut novel Coffin Dodgers was published (under a slightly different name) in 2011, and I’ve written lots of non-fiction books too: several books for young musicians, one on working from home and one about laptops. I’m working on four more books right now, or five if you include a personal one I’m also doing. I’ve also co-authored lots of computing and music books, and when I’m not writing or arguing with people on the internet I make poppy rock music and rocky pop music.

If you want to contact me for work stuff, please read this page before you email. Thanks. And if you want to send me money for no reason or because you think my blog is brilliant, you can do that here.
