Martin Day

I've been a freelance writer for over 25 years. In that time I have written for BBC One’s Doctors, Channel 5’s Family Affairs and RTÉ’s Fair City. I was lead writer on CBBC’s Crisis Control, and have a number of original film and television projects in development (hell).

I’ve also written 12 novels and audiobooks, two audio plays for Big Finish, and eight non-fiction books – most of these have concerned television in general and Doctor Who in particular. In October 2016 I started a three-year stint as an Associate Lecturer in Creative at Bath Spa University and from the autumn of 2020 I will be an RLF Fellow at the University of Bristol. I also have an MA in Creative Writing from Bath Spa and am working on finding a home for a literary novel and a thriller.

I’ve also written comic strips, short stories and journalism. I live in Somerset, and am married to a GP.
