Luke Williams won the Saltire Prize for his first novel The Echo Chamber (2011) and he is currently working on a second book that tells the story of the island of Diego Garcia. Luke’s writing is research-based and seeks, via collaborative practice and the use of selected constraints, to close the formal gap between history and story. His work is informed by studies in History at Edinburgh University and Creative Writing at UEA. He co-organises the occasional live literature night, Plum.
