Keith
Gray ...
In his earliest years, Grimsby-born Keith Gray turned from reluctant reader to passionate reader – then straight on to being a dedicated writer. He published Creepers (1996), which was shortlisted for the 1997 Guardian Children’s Fiction Prize, in his early twenties, and since then has penned a number of award-winning and critically-acclaimed novels. He is a reviewer of teenage fiction for the Guardian and the Scotsman, became the first ever ‘Virtual Writer in Residence’ for the Scottish Book Trust in 2008 and has been a judge for most of the major children’s awards. Losing It (2010) is his most recent book for teens, a funny and memorable collection of short stories. Gray currently lives in Edinburgh with his partner.
There is a multimedia selection of further information on Keith Gray available. Videos of him discussing his work, explaining his journey from waiter to writer and speaking to the Scottish Book Trust, an audio podcast of Gray, a written interview with him, and the varied information available on his website.
