Josh Stoddard is a reformed fanfiction writer and librarian from Manchester.

He writes a bit of everything, from vampire-werewolf romance to time travel and killer robots, but it's almost always set in the north of England.

His first novel, Smalltown Boy, a bisexual coming-of-age story set in the 1980s, was shortlisted in the top 50 of 3,700 entries for Penguin's WriteNow programme.

When he’s not writing or shelving books, Josh is at the cinema or watching wrestling with his one-eyed cat, Fury.
