    John Latimer

    I'm a several times published writer and poet from Cumbernauld, Glasgow. I write humorous, edgy, dark and satirical poetry, often with a native Scottish lilt. Published works include paperback anthologies, newspapers, football magazines, and on-line culture magazines. I've also had work aired on radio on numerous occasions. Please check out my website as I offer a range of bespoke writing services, notably gifts for any occasion.
