We are delighted to announce that the FWS Makar for 2018 is Marjorie Lotfi Gill, who won first prize and a commendation in last year Wigtown Poetry Competition and whom many members will know through her wonderful poetry and inspiring workshops. We announced the new Makar at the launch of our latest anthology on 4 November and she will be formally inaugurated at the Tinsel Tales event on 21 December when the current Makar Andy Jackson (who has done such great work with the Federation this year) will hand over the Makar’s shield.
