About the Author

Amanda Thomson is a Scottish writer, artist, and academic whose work intricately weaves together the threads of place, identity, and belonging. Drawing from her deep connection to the landscapes of Scotland and beyond, she explores how environments shape personal and cultural narratives. With a background in environmental humanities, Thomson's writing reflects a profound sensitivity to the natural world, blending memoir, essay, and poetic reflection to illuminate the intersections of human experience and ecology. Her debut book, Belonging: Natural histories of place, identity and home, has been widely acclaimed for its evocative prose and thoughtful examination of displacement and rootedness. Thomson continues to contribute to conversations on climate, migration, and the stories we tell about where we come from.
