While living and working in Edinburgh in 2008 I set out to write one million words in 366 days... but only managed 800,737.
About Me
- Craig Cliff
- I am a writer of fiction, mostly.
My short story collection, A MAN MELTING, won the 2011 Commonwealth Writers Prize Best First Book.
My novel THE MANNEQUIN MAKERS was published in 2013 in Australia and New Zealand, a Romanian translation came out in 2016, the US edition came out at the end of 2017 and the UK edition dropped in 2019.
My latest book is NAILING DOWN THE SAINT, a novel about fatherhood, Hollywood and levitation (Vintage, August 2019).

"In dark times, the definition of good art would seem to be art that locates and applies CPR to those elements of what’s human and magical that still live and glow despite the times’ darkness. Really good fiction could have as dark a worldview as it wished, but it’d find a way both to depict this world and to illuminate the possibilities for being alive and human in it."
