About
Martyn Ford is a journalist and author from the UK. He is represented by Clare Wallace at the Darley Anderson Literary, TV and Film Agency. His debut middle-grade children's book, The Imagination Box, was published by Faber & Faber in 2015 and has since become a trilogy.
His adult debut, Every Missing Thing, will be released in 2020 from Amazon Publishing imprint Thomas & Mercer.
During the day he works for the Alton Herald where he reports on all the interesting things that occur in and around Alton, Hampshire. It’s quite simple really: something happens, then he presses buttons on a keyboard until words appear which represent the incident. The aim is to get it as close to the truth as possible. In turn, this is printed in a newspaper. Then, and this is the clever part, when literate humans look at those words in a left-to-right, top-to-bottom order commonly known as “reading”, the event is recreated in their mind.
He's done lots of things, but it started getting relevant in 2007 when his writing career began. After a short stint working as a reporter for the Post Gazette series of newspapers based in Alton, he put together It Happened to Me, a true story book published by Summersdale. Nowadays he’s focusing a lot of attention on stories which aren’t true.
Martyn spends a lot of his time thinking, writing and thinking about writing. He likes food and has a lot of titanium implants in his mouth because most of his big teeth didn't appear but, get this, no one knows why...
