Margot Livesey is a Scottish born writer. She is the author of five novels, numerous short stories as well as essays on the craft of writing fiction.
Livesey was born in 1953, and came to North America during the 1970s where she worked to get her fiction published, reportedly because her (then) boyfriend was also a writer. Eventually, she published a collection of short stories: Learning by Heart (1986), followed by five novels: Homework (1990), Criminals (1996), The Missing World (2000), Eva Moves the Furniture (2001) and Banishing Verona (2005).
Livesey's work has appeared in The New Yorker, The Atlantic Monthly, and a number of literary quarterlies.
She is currently the writer-in-residence at Bowdoin College.
