Welcome to
the Internet home of author Philip Elliott. A space where I discuss whatever I feel like writing about. Great books and records mostly, art in general, life as a writer. Things I’m passionate about, basically. Some of my fiction will probably find a home here too eventually. This is also my newsletter.
Who?
I write stories about desperate characters on the fringe of society and the systems that swallow them. My fiction has won a Crime Writers Canada Award of Excellence and been a finalist for a Shamus Award. I write screenplays sometimes and was among a handful of writers selected for Get Repped Now ’23. I edit for a living and I ran a pretty cool litmag/micro press once.
