Nick Spalding (born Isle of Wight, England, in 1974) is a British comedy novelist.[1][2] He was educated at Cams Hill School in Fareham, and studied Media and Cultural Studies at Solent University. He worked as a media officer for the police before becoming a full time writer.[1][3]

Writings[]

His self-published 2012 e-books Love From Both Sides and Love And Sleepless Nights were both best-sellers.[1][4][5] Love From Both Sides, which he describes as "a warts-and-all romantic comedy for everyone who knows how tricky the quest for love can be," sold a quarter of a million copies in 2012.[6][7]

Based on that book's success he signed up with Hodder and Stoughton.[6][8] His books are currently published by Amazon Publishing's Lake Union imprint.[6] He has some self-published books still published by Notting Hill Press and is often referred to as a 'hybrid' author because of this.[9]

Spalding has written articles for the Writers' & Artists' Yearbook[10] and has held a writing masterclass for The Guardian.[11]
