Edmund HurstEdmund Hurst was born in the misty lands known only as The Midlands. A nerd-of-all-trades, he spent much of his childhood between pages of books, playing video games and of course, writing stories. School was strict, stifling, and saed only through the efforts of Brian Jacques, Paul Stewart & Chris Riddell, and Terry Pratchett. Fortunately, at University he found a lifelong love of education. He worked his way across the U.K as a waiter, a bartender and an actor until finally he found the promised lands of Up North.
Ed obtained his Creative Writing PhD at the University of Hull, where he is now Programme Director for Creative Writing. He lectures in Fantasy, Sci-Fi and Horror prose, as well as researching the impact of AI on Higher Education and working to make creative education accessible to students from all backgrounds through the growth of creative communities.
