About Me

A man with gray hair wearing a dark jacket against a light yellow background.

Hi, I’m Mark Carew, a writer of modern and contemporary fiction driven by characters and a post-modern outlook.

I’m the author of two traditionally published novels, The Book of Alexander and Magnus, both published by Salt, an award-winning independent literary publisher in the UK. 

I’m also the host of The Joy of Writing podcast which is mirrored on YouTube.

In series 1, I talked to other authors about their books and the craft of writing.

In series 2, I am currently narrating each chapter of Beyond The North Wind for listeners to enjoy for free.

Together, the three novels BOA, Magnus, and BTNW, make up the ‘Alexander trilogy’.

I am busy writing other novels and stories.

My hobby is entirely different to my work! I am a Senior Lecturer at the University of Exeter where I teach physiology and pharmacology to biomedical science and medical students.
