Margot McCuaig works in the busy and creative world of television, and is the Managing Director of mneTV, who are Scotland’s biggest producers of sport as well as producing a whole range of programmes on a variety of subjects.
She is also the founder of purple tv, an independent production company creating innovative digital media content and distinctive network and international television programmes. They’ve also produced a very interesting app, BookCityEdinburgh, which allows you to take a literary journey around Scotland’s capital city. You can get more information on it HERE
And if that’s not enough, Margot is also a novelist, with her debut novel, The Birds That Never Flew, published to great acclaim last year. I can vouch for its quality and would recommend you check it out HERE
Not surprisingly, Margot is very passionate about books, which made for a very entertaining and enjoyable Read All About It podcast.
