## Biography

Amy Liptrot is a Scottish journalist and author. She grew up on a farm in Orkney and studied at the University of Edinburgh. After a decade in London, she returned to Orkney, where her experiences informed her debut memoir *The Outrun* (2016).

The book won the Wainwright Prize in 2016 and the PEN Ackerley Prize in 2017, and was shortlisted for the Wellcome Prize and the Ondaatje Prize. Liptrot co-wrote the screenplay for the 2024 film adaptation of *The Outrun* with director Nora Fingscheidt. Her second book, *The Instant*, was published in 2022.
