Ali Bacon
Joined 2008
Ali Bacon writes contemporary and historical fiction usually with a Scottish flavour. Her recent creative encounters have been with a Victorian photographer (In the Blink of an Eye, Linen Press 2018), and a mediaeval nun (Within these Walls, winner of the Bristol Short Story Competition local writer prize 2019).
The Absent Heart, a novel inspired by the letters of R. L. Stevenson to Fanny Sitwell, was published by Linen Press in 2025.
As an antidote to the solitary life of a writer, Ali enjoys organising and taking part in local literary events. Otherwise she can be found playing golf or pickleball.
