Calum Kerr

I was born in 1973, at home, in Lytham St Annes. I went to Lytham Hall Park Primary School, King Edwards VII School, UMIST, and Manchester Metropolitan University. As a result I have A-levels in Chemistry, Physics, Biology and General Studies as well as a BA(Hons)in English Studies, an MA in Creative Writing, and a PhD also in Creative Writing.

I started writing at about the age of 12 thanks to Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett. I had read all of their work and their was nothing else like it on the scene so I decided to write my own. I still have what I wrote and apart from being INCREDIBLY derivative, it wasn't all that bad. I've been writing on and off ever since but too many things have got in the way for me to finish my projects and get them published. How's that for a blatant justification?

One of the things which got in the way was running my own publishing company, CK Publishing, for a number of years. That company eventually changed into WebGuild Media, the web-design/content-management system company of which I am now a director.

Having finally finished all my studies (Okay, so I still need to get my English A-level, but I need a break first. Oh, and Maths might be fun too. (Really, just don't ask.)) I now have time to concentrate on my writing and this website will follow the process as I get back to some kind of regular writing - which may only be blogging for the time being - and see if I can't get some of it published.
