In 2010 he won Salt’s Crashaw Prize and his first collection will be released by the end of the year.
Gavin Ingliss Gavin originates from "somewhere near Paisley" but has lived in Edinburgh's South Side since 1989, apart from a short venture to London. His stories are a heady mix of murderous fish, doomed starlets, murderous poly bags, lecherous Victorian engineers, murderous giant gingerbread men and elderly people who make one small, wise remark which sorts the whole thing out. His novel for young adults Mirror Widow won the Instant Books print-on-demand competition at the Edinburgh Book Festival 2002. All publishers and agents seem determined to call it Mirror Window.
Gavin is an ex-busker, ex-handyman, ex-public relations executive, ex-system administrator, and an excellent judge of character.
