Professor Sam North

I have published 8 novels. My 2004 novel The Unnumbered was long-listed for the Man-Booker prize and in 2010 I won an Eric Gregory Award. My first novel, The Automatic Man, won the Somerset Maugham Award. I haven't published a novel in 15 years but I have written two books about writing, the first on prose fiction, Five Analogies... and the second about screenwriting, The Instinctive Screenplay. In 2017 I sold a spec. script to Kevin Loader (producer of the Death of Stalin among many other films), which has fallen by the wayside.

My office is in room 206,Queen's Building. My office hours in term 1 this year (24-25) will be on Wednesdays from 9-12 am - the automatic system is glitching a bit so it's best to email me, for the moment, on S.North@exeter.ac.uk.
