Forth, Ian

Ian used to be an academic, but now he writes. Mainly short stories (plus some pretty bad poetry). He is quite new to writing for publication, although he has self-published – for personal reasons – a family memoir and some illustrated stories for children.

One of his short stories, ‘Leaf Relief,’ was published this year as a podcast on Yorick Radio Productions/Scintillating Stories.

Another story, ‘Squirrel,’ which combines the points of view of two characters, has been accepted for publication in The Mocking Owl Roost later this year.

Ian is currently working on a collection of stories that explore themes of memory, obsession, imagination, and misunderstanding. His stories are simply but vividly told, and contain unconventional characters as well as a good degree of humour and pathos.

Ian lives in France and Wales and cycles a hell of a lot.
