Richard Hearn

About the Author "I am a freelance writer and artist based in Brighton. I was a member of the the Brighton Novelists from 2000 to 2008 while they met at Queenspark Books. I have written short stories and novels, and had articles published on subjects as diverse as parenting and painting for magazines including Prima Baby, Car Magazine and Artists and Illustrators. I write 2 columns on being a Dad; one for Brighton magazine 'Latest Homes' entitled 'Distracted Dad' and one for Mumsense Magazine. I am currently working on a series of radio plays. I am also an exhibiting artist and have shown work in Sussex and Surrey. (See the link below to painting website for more information).
I set up Paragraph Planet in October 2008 as a way of bringing writers together, encouraging short fiction, and developing my own (amateur) website skills. I wanted a site that offers an enjoyable creative kickstart, and hopefully it acts as an impetus and incentive to other writers. What's been great for me is the response Paragraph Planet has got. From famous authors and creative writing students, from a wide variety of countries in all time zones, and from being mentioned in various magazines including Writing Magazine and Myslexia. (Oh and the picture on the left is unusually thin and stretched vertically. I'm fatter than that.)
