Maggie Watson

I was born in Cape Town, South Africa. I now live in Scotland. I have CFS which is a very debilitating/unpredictable illness. I began writing in 2020 at the start of the Pandemic. At that point, I had no idea it would play such a huge part in my life as it does now! In 2021 I self-published my first collection of poetry and have since self-published three others. My writing is now much more diverse than when I began. I draw a lot on her life experiences when writing, so my poems can be raw. But I feel that makes my work more relatable to the reader. I am also a volunteer at Barnardos.uk I enjoy walks in nature and solo travel. For more examples of her writing visit her blog. https://wordpress.com/home/poetrybymaggiewatson.uk
