Meg Bateman
File, scoláire agus scríbhneoir gearrscéalta is ea Meg Bateman. 

Rugadh Bateman i nDún Éideann. Rinne sí staidéar ar theangacha na gCeilteach ag Ollscoil Obar Dheathain agus chríochnaigh sí PhD i bhfilíocht reiligiúnach Ghaeilge na meánaoise. Chuaigh sí ar aghaidh ansin chun an Ghaeilge a theagasc ag Ollscoileanna Dhún Éideann agus Obar Dheathain. Mhúin sí Gaeilge na hAlban freisin in Ollscoil Dhún Éideann agus ba Léachtóir Sinsearach Oinigh í ag [Ollscoil Chill Rímhinn]].

Foilsíodh an chéad chnuasach de dhánta Bateman, Òrain Ghaoil sa bhliain 1990  agus foilsíodh a dara, Aotromachd agus dàin eile sa bhliain 1997. Díríonn a céad bhailiúcháin agus a dara bailiúchán ar chaidreamh daonna agus ar leagan idéalaithe den ghrá. 

Tá filíocht Ghaeilge aistrithe aici go Béarla san  Anthology of Scottish Women Poets (1991) agus Creachadh na Clàrsaiche (1993) agus Duanaire na Sracaire / Songbook of the Pillagers: anthology of Scotland’s Gaelic verse to 1600, (2007) agus Bàird Ghleann Dail / The Glendale bards (2014).

Foilsíodh a tríú bailiúchán, Soirbheas  sa bhliain 2007 agus a ceathrú Transparencies an 2013. 

Sa bhliain 2011, tháinig an chéad ghearrscéal a d'foilsigh Bateman as Gaeilge amach, dar teideal Chanadh gun d'chur i às dha, sa bhailiúchán gearrscéalta Saorsa a d'fhoilsigh CLÀR.

Obríonn sí mar léachtóir ag Sabhal Mòr Ostaig [gearr ás: agus ina léachtóir sinsearach ag Oilthigh Chill Rìmhinn.
