Lisa-Marie Ferla
I (she/her) am a hyperbolic, Springsteen-loving feminist buzzkill. An arts and culture journalist, essayist, legal publishing professional, cat lady and Taylor Swift stan from Glasgow, Scotland.
Bio
I am the new music columnist for The Scots Magazine, and make regular appearances on TV and radio. My work has appeared on/in the likes of Uncut Magazine, BBC Radio Scotland, BBC Two Scotland, BBC Scotland The Nine, The Arts Desk and The Herald.
I am a published essayist and a compelling public speaker, and have been building my audience via my own blog and social media presence since the late 1990s (mostly right here!).
