Melanie Reid

Melanie Reid MBE is a writer and journalist with The Times.   On Good Friday, 2010, she fell from her horse, becoming paralysed from the neck down.  She spent a year in hospital, determined to gain as much movement in her limbs as possible and learning to navigate through a previously invisible world.  She decided that words would be her means of travel and since then has continued to write for The Times, as well as co-writing with Gregor Fisher his memoir The Boy from Nowhere.  She lives in Stirlingshire.
