welcome to general observations on eggs

You’ve found the Substack of me, Heather Parry, a Glasgow-based novelist, essayist and short story writer, born and raised in Rotherham. Hello! Here’s a very old picture of me looking joyous near some water:

I write dark fiction novels, weird stories and nonfiction books on philosophy and society. I also wrote the free-access Illustrated Freelancer’s Guide with artist Maria Stoian, to try and help creative freelancers and artists through the often-stressful parts of living a freelance life.

general observations on eggs is a place for short essays on food, philosophy, politics, art, literature, writing and general functional derangement—the state in which we are all currently existing. Sometimes I’m writing 3000 words on a meal so good it made me upset, sometimes I’m enraged by our country’s politics, and sometimes I’m giving advice to writers (and also myself).
