James Worrad

James Worrad lives in Leicester, England and currently shares a house with a cat and another writer. James works for a well-known hotel, in an occupation that never leaves him short of writing material.

He has a degree in classical studies from Lampeter University, Wales, which, he has found invaluable to his growth as a science fiction and fantasy writer as he discovered how varied and peculiar human cultures can be.

In 2011 James attended Clarion, the prestigious six-week SF workshop held at the University of California, San Diego. There, he studied under some of the genre’s leading professionals and also got to see a lot of wild hummingbirds.

He’s had short stories published by Daily Science Fiction, Flurb, Newcon Press and Obverse Books. He also writes screen plays for short films, one of which- Flawless- won the Seven/Five Film Festival Award and was selected for both the Cannes and NYC Independent film festivals. (It was also screened at CERN, home of the Large Hadron Collider).

He’s a regular on the science fiction convention scene. Should you see him at one feel free to say hello.
