A writer of stories of second chances and redemption for broken and flawed characters.
STEPHEN MELLOR was born in Buchanan, Liberia, grew up in Yorkshire, UK, and lives in Sheffield, UK, with his wife, and Moose, the excitable greyhound.
His first novel, From Where We Threw Dogs, fearlessly addresses the toxicity within male grief.
His first novella, Pyre, a story of isolation and longing, was shortlisted for the Reflex Press 2022 Novella Award, and is available now. It is also a screenplay.
His novella, The Day Lemmy Loved Johnny The Most, is a reimagining, for a near future authoritarian world, of the story of Peter and Jesus.
His screenplay, Dimitri’s Garden, has won numerous international film festival awards and recognition. It is a story of the things that we share in a time of division.
He has also written the screenplay for his novella, Pyre, and a rom-com, The Honeymooners.
He is the creator and co-host of Prompety Prompt, the podcast for readers, writers and listeners.
Away from writing there is always Sheffield Wednesday and still playing the beautiful game and aching for days after. And singing along, although never in tune, with guitar bands. Loves the Romans and small comedy clubs, but the two things aren't connected.
