We are delighted to announce the recipient of Cove Park’s first Loch Long Crime Writing Residency is Caro Carver.

This two-week residency is designed to support new crime writing by Scotland-based authors. It was awarded following an open call for applications and takes place in March this year.

Caro lives in Inverclyde with her husband and four children. She is Reader in Creative Writing at the University of Glasgow, teaches for the Faber Academy and the Curtis Brown Academy, and regularly speaks on panels and hosts events on writing. Bad Tourists, her first book written under the pseudonym of Caro Carver, will be published by Transworld in Summer 2024. She is also published by HarperCollins as C.J. Cooke for her gothic thrillers. At Cove Park, Caro will be working on her forthcoming crime novel.

We are grateful to our Argyll Patron for their generous support and making this residency possible.
