About me
I'm an Oxford University creative writing tutor, novelist and librarian.
I teach on the Oxford University MSt, Undergraduate Diploma and Online courses, and am interested in both the close examination of fiction and how recent technologies such as ebooks and print-on-demand are changing the publishing industry and offering fresh opportunities to writers.
I studied English at Keble College, Oxford, and from 1995 to 2008 reviewed fiction for a variety of publications, including The Times, TLS and Financial Times. (See Reviews for a list of my journalism. If you'd like a PDF of a particular piece, please email contact@frankegerton.com.)
My first novel The Lock was published in 2003 and the ebook version reached the finals of the Independent e-Book Awards in Santa Barbara. My second novel Invisible was published by StreetBooks in October 2010 ("...lively wit and acute understanding of the emotional landscape." Kate Saunders, The Times).
I am a member of the Society of Authors and The Association of Writers and Writing Programs. I was chair of Writers in Oxford from 2008-2010 and edited the Oxford Writer from 2002-2004.
I'm a librarian at the Taylor Institution and Librarian and Subject Consultant at the Bodleian Latin American Centre Library.
I live in west Oxfordshire.
The StreetBooks paperback edition of my second novel, Invisible, is available from Amazon UK as well as other online retailers and bookshops (ISBN 978-0-9564242-0-4). See Invisible -- and Publishing to buy copies or download StreetBooks .pdf of Invisible Part One
