Neil Bailey

Neil is a versatile writer who delves into the eerie realms of environmental and cyber horror, crafting stories that provoke thought about the world we live in. With a mind that’s constantly buzzing with creative ideas, Neil finds inspiration in everyday encounters, weaving them into narratives that are as unsettling as they are engaging. In addition to horror, Neil is expanding into children’s literature and poetry, showcasing a broad range of literary talents.

Living with autism, Neil channels a unique perspective into his writing, offering readers a distinct lens through which to explore complex themes without ever feeling preached to. The result is fiction that challenges readers to think deeply about human nature and the environment.

Though Neil hasn’t pursued formal accolades, his dedication to the craft is evident in the meticulous yet spontaneous approach he takes to writing. While outlines and plot lines serve as a guide, Neil often allows the story to unfold organically, leading to unexpected and exciting outcomes.

Outside of writing, Neil is a force of nature in more ways than one. Despite living with fibromyalgia and arthritis, he pushes his physical limits through ultramarathons and trail races, proving that even in pain, there’s strength to be found in endurance. He vlogs about his races on YouTube: @justrunning. His commitment to personal wellness is further reflected in his work as an NLP life coach, running health coach, and personal trainer, with all coaching fees generously donated to charity. He shares some key tips and tricks on his coaching YouTube channel: @thenlpmastercoach. Neil is also passionate about plogging - litter picking while running - making every stride count for the planet.

Whether through storytelling or daily actions, Neil is driven by a desire to inspire and make a difference, one word and one step at a time.
