DON'T READ THIS
'Arguably the most original writer in Britain.' ~ Daily Express
Will is an award-losing writer of 'wildly original' fiction. Award losses include: Goldsboro Books Glass Bell Award, Not The Booker Prize, Amazon Readers New Voice Award, Fingerprint Genre-Busting Book of the Year and Theakston's Old Peculiar Crime Novel of the Year Award.
He burst on to the crime-writing scene in 2011 with Girl 4, the first book in the January David series. Following a commercially successful trilogy, he faded into obscurity for a couple of years before emerging with the scorching start of a new series, Good Samaritans.
Refusing to be confined to one genre, Will continues to push boundaries and experiment with form. His first foray into horror saw the birth of The Beresford. A book of the year in the Express and Spectator, it is now in development for television, along with the darkly funny Psychopaths Anonymous.
Will's next book, The Confessions, will be published in 2028. (UK/US)
His books have been translated into many languages. (More people read his work in Spanish than they do in English.)
Update
GENRE-BUSTING BOOK OF THE YEAR
After appearing on several longlists and shortlists for various prizes, Will finally took to the podium to accept his Fingerprint Award for his novel Kill Them With Kindness.
He delivered a heartfelt speech about recognising the writers and publishers who are still taking risks, and is pleased that any video evidence of what he said in that room has not been released.
