Poundland was created using the blood, sweat, tears, secretions and jizz of various famous writers who happened to grace your correspondent’s Goodreads. Poundland is a prebound book which displays its influences as a focal point and takes various forms. Poundland spans across a number of genres and mediums; erotica, satire, metafiction, autofiction, science fiction and journalism. There is something for everyone…except children. Hester Grant is a Scottish artist and writer originally from Moffat who lives and works in Glasgow.

Grant has run and participated in a number of socially engaged projects such as organising and curating a Zine Fest in Inverness, running an Art Theory book group and hiring artists to run art writing workshops for young people in the Highlands.
