Welcome to the profile of Gordon Craigie, an author, feature writer, and journalist who is not at all comfortable referring to himself in the third person! So that’s enough of that then…
I produce entertaining, informative, humorous and/or provocative writing around a range of themes, including:
• Current affairs
• Education
• Football
• Health & Fitness
• Italy
• Music
• Popular media
• Profiles
• Scottish culture, history and politics
• Sport
• Technology
• Travel
• Vegetarian/Vegan Lifestyle
Although this is an extensive list, I would not consider it exhaustive! You can read more about this stuff over at www.gordoncraigie.scot where you can also see a selection of my published features.
In any context it doesn’t take much to provoke either my love of the quirky or outright distaste for any form of injustice, and I love to reflect both in my writing. However, and this is a BIG “however”… when required, I instantly metamorphose into serious, professional, academic mode with proper research and everything — honest!
My background lies in teaching, lecturing, educational project management and football (playing & coaching), and I still maintain my “other life” as an Education & Technology Consultant — The McIntosh Partnership (www.tmp.scot).
In 2020 I published my first book, followed by my second in 2022 – if everything goes to plan (?) the third should be out in 2024. You can check out all the buying options at www.gordoncraigie.scot/books.html.
I’m always open to offers from newspapers, magazines and websites, to continue building on the success of what was my first by-lined column in The Courier (way back in 2014!), regular feature articles in The Costco Connection and The Local Italy, and my role as Lead Columnist and Deputy Editor with the award-winning iScot Magazine.
All of this alongside steering The McIntosh Partnership through its 21st year and… helping my wife, partner and soulmate to further develop her thriving Copyediting & Proofreading business (www.aveditorial.scot).
Better get on with it then!
