About Me

My name is Edward Cox, and I'm a writer of Speculative Fiction. Since 1999 I've had an abundance of work published in the small press, including short stories, poems, articles and reviews.

I have a 1st in a BA Honours Degree in creative writing, and I’m conducting an MA in the same subject as we speak . . . or type . . . or whatever.I’m hoping that MySpace will put me in touch with other writers around the world, and perhaps even introduce my work to a wider audience. Details on my career, and info on where my work can be found, are listed along with links and news on My Website
