Andrew Murray Scott, born in Aberdeen, Scotland in 1955 is a novelist, poet and non-fiction book writer. A former journalist, who has taught creative writing and media subjects, he presently works as a press officer. Principally a novelist, his first novel, Tumulus, appeared in 2000, as the winner of the £6,000 inaugural Dundee International Book Prize for unpublished novels. A second novel, Estuary Blue, appeared in 2001 from the same publisher, Polygon, of Edinburgh. In 2007, a third novel, The Mushroom Club appeared. Scott's fourth novel, The Big J, published by Steve Savage Publishers Ltd, was published in April 2008. This claims to draw on the author's North East roots, being set in a fictional coastal town of Dounby six miles from Duncairn (the city which, Lewis Grassic Gibbon observed, was 'the city which the good folk of the Mearns have yet to build'). Andrew Murray Scott is the author of ten non-fiction books and a considerable body of features and other published work.
