John Raybould

Welcome. I'm John Raybould, a storyteller at heart.

For me, it's always been about the story, regardless of the medium. Whether I'm writing a Young Adult or a Dark fantasy novel, crafting a comedy, writing song lyrics, or working on a film that sheds light on an important social issue, my passion lies in creating worlds and characters that resonate.

My work spans the written word, the screen, and the stage, and explores new creative territories in music composition. Here you'll find everything from published short stories, Dark fantasy worlds and SIFI, to animated shorts, documentaries, and narrative short films.

I've been fortunate enough to collaborate with incredible people and organisations on projects funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, Age UK, and Comic Relief. I invite you to explore my portfolio and discover the stories I've had the privilege to tell.

TICK TOCK Time goes on. I'm in my 70s now, but I still write books, plays, song lyrics, and the occasional animation. It keeps me out of mischief.
