John Harman

John Harman has written for a living all his working life: first in advertising and then for many years as a journalist in the UK and America, finally finishing up on London’s famous Fleet Street. Later he became the co-owner of a small film production company, where he wrote countless documentary, training and corporate film scripts. During that time he also began scriptwriting for television and wrote episodes for many of the popular UK television series.

For the past twenty years, John has earned a living as a full-time writer of both popular novels, with a number of major (500-page) crime thrillers published by Headline in the UK, along with over a dozen non-fiction books published. He also works as a scriptwriter, speechwriter, mentor and teacher of creative writing.

John has also ghost-written more than a dozen books. These are, generally, the life stories of well-known people but he has also ghost-written popular romantic fiction and corporate histories along with biographies and autobiographies.

John conducts many workshops and seminars on creative writing, as well as being commissioned by major NGOs and commercial companies to teach executives how to write simply and well. He also runs workshops on creativity.

John has taught in the UK – at the University of Cambridge Board of Continuing Education – and in America at the university of California Summer Schools. In Australia he teaches for, among others, the University of WA; Edith Cowan University; the Fellowship of Australian Writers and the WA State Literature Centre.

John’s wife, Abigail, is a professional photographer and they have five children.
