Who am I?

I’m a British author known for using fast-paced, character-driven science fiction to explore big ideas and themes of identity, loss, and the human condition. I have twice won the coveted British Science Fiction Association Award for Best Novel, and been a finalist for the Locus, British Fantasy, Seiun, and Canopus awards. I also write a monthly column for The Engineer magazine. I have taught classes in writing at a number of universities and my bestselling guide About Writing is available in hardback from Gollancz.
