[7] In the late 1960s, Craig was at Notre Dame Convent School in Battersea, working as an art mistress, but longed to have a literary career.
[9] In London she began to collaborate with Mary Cadogan, editing several books on children's literature.
One of the first was a biography of Brian Moore which was described by the critic Seamus Deane as 'a crisp and intelligent account of a man and a writer for whom Craig's clean and incisive approach seems perfectly appropriate'.
[11] Perhaps her most popular book was the memoir Asking for Trouble (1987) which details her schooldays, culminating in her expulsion from school.
[8] She was Honorary Lecturer at Queen's University Belfast where she was appointed to the Board of the Seamus Heaney Centre for Poetry.
