About Anthony
My ten novels have received critical acclaim from The Sunday Times, The Guardian, The Independent, The Financial Times, The Daily Mail, The Daily Telegraph, The Sunday Telegraph, The Sunday Express, The Sunday Herald, The Literary Review, The Good Book Guide, The Sydney Morning Herald, Books Ireland, Der Spiegel, Kulturnews, The Irish Times, the Irish Independent and other newspapers.
My debut novel Disappeared was picked as one of the Best Books of the Year by the Sunday Times and was a Daily Mail Crime Novel of the Year. It was shortlisted by the book critics of the Washington Post, the LA Times, and the San Francisco Chronicle for a Strand Literary Award in the US. It was also selected as one of the top ten thrillers of 2012 by Kirkus Reviews and short-listed for the Theakstons Crime Novel of the Year. My novels have been picked by the Irish Times and the Irish Independent in their Best Crime Novels of the Year selections in 2015, 2016, and 2019.
I hold a PhD in Creative Writing from Queen’s University Belfast, where I have taught undergraduate, Masters, and PhD students since 2017. I have also worked as a Royal Literary Fund Fellow and Lector, a writing mentor for the Irish Writers Centre, and a tutor in literacy and creative writing across a wide range of educational and community settings. As a published novelist with ten critically acclaimed books, I bring both academic and professional publishing experience to my teaching.

My approach to tutoring is supportive, practical, and student-centered. I aim to help writers develop confidence in their own voice while strengthening the technical skills needed to improve structure, style, characterization, dialogue, and storytelling. I believe creative writing grows through encouragement, close reading, constructive feedback, and regular practice.
I teach through a combination of discussion, guided exercises, reading examples from published authors, and detailed feedback on students’ own work. Lessons are tailored to individual goals, whether a student is beginning their writing journey, preparing university assignments, developing a novel, or refining work for publication. I also provide one-to-one mentoring and ongoing support for writers who want sustained guidance and accountability.

My lessons are suitable for teenagers, adults, university students, emerging writers, and anyone interested in improving their creative writing, literacy, or storytelling skills, regardless of experience level.
