How do you talk about your writer-self on TedX and make a difference to listeners? Catriona spills the tea everything, as well making the very good case to let potential readers make up their own minds about our books!
Catriona Turner is a Scottish writer and editor. Before living abroad, she worked as an English teacher in Scottish schools. She has since spent fourteen years globally mobile with her family, living in France (three times), Uganda, Congo, and Denmark. Her first book, Nest: a memoir of home on the move, was published in June 2023, and she is now working on a follow-up memoir of returning to Scotland. Her writing has also appeared in anthologies, and she had a regular column in Danish magazine The International. The TEDx talk she delivered in November 2024, titled ‘Find Your Main Character Energy’, is available to watch on YouTube. She now lives in Aberdeen with her husband, sons (a teen and a tween), and a brand new puppy.
