Nicholas Fisk is the author of some 40 books, including many science-fiction titles for older children. He completed his first book at the age of nine and earned money from his typewriter whilst still at school. He dabbled in many fields of work such as acting, playing jazz and illustrating and editing but, as he says himself, "continued to write for anyone who would put me into print."
He has many interests including machines, drawing, Victorian artists, growing things and playing the guitar.
He enjoys writing for young people but disagrees with the sci-fi label. He says that his books are written from the point of view of IF... "Almost any IF, from self-willed domestic robots to fundamental natural changes in our condition, is a reasonable starting point."He enjoys writing for young people because they find it easier than adults to accept the unconventional.
