A
native of Scotland, after graduating from Edinburgh University with an
MA in German, Kay McBurney spent much of
the early eighties knocking about Germany and Austria, initially earning
a crust as a teacher of English before taking up translation. She now
lives in Edinburgh, working as a freelance technical and business translator.
In recent years she has increasingly turned her hand to the more creative
end of the commercial market, but the Franconian/Scots poetry workshop
was the first time she dipped her toe into more literary waters.
