Mark Speed finished writing his first novel at the age of fifteen. His comedy writing has appeared in newspapers as diverse as the London
Evening Standard
and
The Sun
, and been broadcast on BBC Radio 4 Extra. He performed his solo comedy,
The End of the World Show
, at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2011 and 2012.

Amongst other postgraduate and professional qualifications, he has a Master’s degree in Creative Writing from City University, London. In 1995 a chiropractor told him he’d never run again. Sensibly, he gave up chiropractors, and has since completed several marathons and a couple of Olympic-length triathlons. He occasionally does irresponsible things like scuba and skydiving. NLP founder Richard Bandler publicly called him a ‘polarity responder’.
