My name is Josh Stoddard, and for the last six years, I’ve been an author. I’ve tried a lot of different things before I got here...
I’ve written movies, TV shows, plays - one even got performed by actors on Zoom!
Before that, I was a video editor. I got a First Class degree in Film and a Masters in screenwriting.
But eventually, I went back to what made me write stories in the first place – books. I’ve written a few now. One got shortlisted for Penguin’s WriteNow programme, in the top 50 of 3,700 entries.
I didn't make it all the way, but I handled it like a champ. I self-published a couple of short stories, and I'm seeking literary representation.
‘Cause no matter how many times I get hit,
I always get back up.
