She is a regular contributor to arts, nature and culture site Caught by the River and will be featured in their upcoming book publication, The Natural History of Cushendall (2026), on behalf of Bill Drummond. Blue also runs the Glasgow-based writing collective Just Write, the Get Lost Hillwalking Club, and has recently begun running events through Murmurations, all of which exist to bring communities across Scotland together, whether through a shared love of writing, music, culture or the outdoors.
Blue has a warm and collaborative approach to her copywriting and is compelled by human and more-than-human stories. She enjoys weaving together the threads of lived experience, creativity and voice with authenticity and care. She is also available for reviews and essays.
