Michael Crawley

Michael is a successful freelance writer. His articles and short stories have appeared in a host of Canadian (overseas) magazines and newspapers including the Toronto Star and the London Sunday Times. His Samuel Pepys-style column, "Vancouver Diary" on Vancouver night life, was popular in the Vancouver Star. His work has appeared under a number of noms de plume.

Michael's forte, however, is the novel. He is a prolific writer of horror, fantasy, suspense, and "mainstream glitz". His novel, The Room, has been published in England by Corgi, by Bantam in New Zealand, by Fenix in Poland, and by Crime Press in Russia. The sequel, The Hexagon, was also bought by Fenix and Crime Press. In 1995 he sold the electronic rights to three more novels, bringing his total book sales for the year to six. His book, How To Fail As A Novelist, published by Pug Enterprises (January 2000) has been very well received.

Michael's professional background, with teaching and editing experience and a valuable knowledge of the North American and overseas markets, brings great depth to his tutoring. We are confident you will really enjoy working with him.
