David Thompson

I have been seeking opportunities for creative writing as long as I can remember, and there have been a few notable successes along the way, among which include: I wrote a play performed on the London fringe in 2005. A story I wrote about the Nottingham trams was published in Left Lion in 2009. Two stories were published in ‘Stories in Sandstone’, an anthology by the Nottingham Writer’s Group and I had another story in their second anthology, Mackerel Scales and Mares Tails in 2015. I was accepted onto the WriteNow programme run by Penguin Random House in Nottingham in 2018. I was a runner up in a writing competition run by Limnisa, a writing retreat in Greece, in 2019. I was mentored by Jamie Mollart on my latest novel, Blake House, in 2021-2, thanks to the Writing East Midlands mentoring scheme.
