Carrie Marshall
Carrie Marshall is a journalist, copywriter, ghostwriter, broadcaster and musician from Glasgow, where she lives with her two children, a greyhound and more guitars than are strictly necessary. A professional writer since 1998, Carrie is particularly interested in how technology can help us live our best lives and has written thousands of features, columns, reviews and news stories for a huge range of magazines, newspapers, websites and trade publications. Carrie’s CV is a who’s who of magazines, newspapers, websites and radio programmes ranging from T3, Techradar and MacFormat to the BBC, Sunday Post and People’s Friend. She has written eleven non-fiction books for publishers including The British Computer Society and Haynes Publishing, co-wrote seven more non-fiction books about technology and music, and also co-wrote a six-part Radio 2 documentary series. Carrie’s debut memoir, Carrie Kills A Man, was shortlisted for the 2023 British Book Awards in the Discover category. As a copywriter Carrie has crafted copy for some of the biggest names in the technology, retail, audio, drinks and finance industries, and as a novelist she sold enough copies of her self-published debut to buy a car. Not a great car, but still: a car! When Carrie isn’t working she’s the singer, rhythm guitarist and producer for Glaswegian rock band Unquiet Mind (unquietmindmusic.com).
