🎯 Where Should I Start?
ⓘ About Mark Richards
I spent the early part of my working life in the financial services industry. Suits, stripy ties, clients… But I had a small voice inside me. “Let me out,” it whispered. “I’m a writer.” Well, I did start writing a humorous weekly column about family life. But that was it. Then – a little over ten years ago – my brother died of cancer. And it made me think. I either did what I really wanted to do – or I forgot about it for good. So I sold the business, sent the stripy ties to the charity shop and started writing. I built a new business as a freelance copywriter. But the small voice wasn’t finished with me. “You want to write a novel,” it whispered. “No time,” I said. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Best Dad I Can Be Books series, Mark Richards has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
