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?
My fiction features desperate characters on the fringe of society and the systems that swallow them. My first novel, Nobody Move, won a Crime Writers Canada Award of Excellence and my second, Porno Valley, was a finalist for a Shamus Award. I was among a handful of screenwriters selected for Get Repped Now ’23. I edit for a living and was once editor-in-chief of an award-winning literary journal. I’m Irish, and in 2025, after a decade in North America, I returned to Dublin.
