His articles and photographs have appeared in iNews, The Scotsman, The Herald on Sunday, Edinburgh Evening News and The Telegraph. Stephen has spoken about his work at Glasgow's Aye Write! Book Festival and the Edinburgh Fringe. Gillian Loney is a journalist, columnist and editor of Glasgow Live, the city's biggest news website.
