P. T. McAllister

Peter studied English Literature at The University of Cambridge and was awarded a Distinction for his MA in Creative Writing. He now teaches at the University of Hull, is the editor and co-founder of Inkfish Magazine and a committee member for the Penzance Literary Festival. Peter has more than a decade of experience in coaching creative professionals and students through their practices.

The blurred boundary between novel and short story collection is the subject of Peter’s PhD research. His writing builds layers of characterisation through linked pieces that result in profound moments of self-realisation and/or dramatic action. He has been shortlisted and highly commended in several International Literary Prizes for his short-form fiction and poetry. His work has appeared online, in print journals and numerous anthologies and his debut book is slated for publication.
