Biography

I've seen it all in my lifetime’s writing career. I've seen scum of the earth agents not interested in my brilliant, earthy, and yet humorous early novels. I've seen ill-mannered ill-bred ignorant theatre directors use my play scripts as door stoppers. I've seen bastard publishers who are not fit to wash my feet ignore my potentially award-winning manuscripts.

Yet I still remain good-humoured about it all.

How To Write A How To Write Book by Brian Piddock
Neil Rhodes Books (ISBN 978-0-9555557-0-1)

The fascinating new book by Brian Piddock, the country’s leading 'how to write' writer. Runner-up for the Diagram Prize for Oddest Book Title of the Year

Brian writes: “I know writers are meant to find any publicity useful. However, I must say how deeply affronted I am that my brilliant and carefully wrought work has been reduced to the ‘Oddest Book Title of the Year’. My book is not odd. It is perfectly sensible. It is the most sensible writers’ manual ever published. A writer can make a fortune easily just by reading my book and following its precise instructions to the exact letter. In fact it is entirely and utterly lacking in oddness.”
