My debut novel has sold 193 copies in just under 3 weeks! I'm so grateful to everyone who is willing to give it a chance. If anyone fancies a Scottish contemporary fiction novel, it's called "Empty" and available for purchase online. My name is M.A. Ross 😊

Please share this 🙏

It would mean a lot to me ,having lost my best friend Dominic to Suicide nearly 26 years ago. Dom Curry 🍛 my son is named after him.

Love and thanks 😊

@joannechocolat.bsky.social You may not remember me, but I was a starstruck receptionist way back in 2011 when you visited a hotel in Glasgow. I've just published my debut novel: may I send you a copy? 😊

Any title containing the word "cailleach" is going to be on my "must read" list! #Gàidhlig

#scotwriterpitch2025 The title may be "Empty" but my novel is chock full of the good stuff: humour, darkness, nostalgia, and an @mariankeyes.bsky.social obsessed heroine. Join her on her journey as she navigates teen life in early 2000's Stornoway. Will her heart ever be full?

Yes, for sure. Escapism is what's needed during times like these! As a first-time writer, I'm battling the dreaded imposter syndrome, but it's not often that these opportunities arise. Best of luck to you 🥰

Yep, I set up this account after seeing the pitch advertised on "Hebrides News"! Good luck to everyone!

Unpublished as yet, but so hopeful that Andie Lu's design will be immortalised one day when "Empty" is printed. Check out @andielu.la on Insta! #scotwriterpitch2025 #hebrides #nostalgia #psychologicalfiction
