I'm Matt Haig and I'm trapped inside my own website. I can no longer enjoy earthly pleasures like peanut butter sandwiches or dog-eared paperbacks. Instead I must hover back and forth through pages of glib self-promotion and vain attempts to convey my 'personality'. But at least you're here to keep me company. And that means a lot.

I write novels for children and 'grown-ups'. You can find out more about them here.

 

MARCH 2009

My children's novel Shadow Forest has won the Blue Peter Book of the Year Award! And it's sequel, The Runaway Troll, has just come out.
