Biography

 

Terence Blacker, the versatile and high profile author of both children and adult fiction, was born 5th February 1948, near Hadleigh, Suffolk. 

 

Terence started off working in horse-racing and as an amateur jockey before moving into the world of books by working as a bookseller for Parks and then working for a publisher. In 1983 Terence became a full time professional writer.

 

His first adult novel, FIXX, won critical acclaim and was described by the Guardian as a ’tour de force’. His first children's book If I Could Work was published in 1987.  In 1988 Ms Wiz Spells Trouble, the first book in the popular Ms Wiz series, was published. After seventeen books the world’s favourite ‘paranormal operative’ is now retired.

 

Terence has also had a long career as a journalist. For many years he wrote the Harvey Porlock column in the Sunday Times as well as writing a column for Publishing News. He is now a regular columnist for the Independent (accessible online) and writes the Endpaper for The Author. He is an active member of English PEN and is also an EAW member.
