Phillip Carter

With his acerbic wit, strange imagination, and poetic control over language, Phillip Carter is creating a new wave of Science Fiction that is mindbending, accessible, and hilarious. His novels, novellas, and short stories breathe new life into Time Travel, Alien Contact, and other much-loved Sci-Fi subgenres.

★★★★★ "whether you're into Douglas Adams or Isaac Asimov or Robert Heinlein, there's something in here for you."

He's also a comedian and poet. In 2015, he performed his first standup gig at the Arts Bar of Edge Hill University, reading comedy poems about freedom of speech and sentient ice. Since then he's won a scholarship in poetry, judged an Edinburgh Lit Fest story contest, starred briefly on Channel 4's Lego Masters, and founded his own small press.

In 2023 performed his own 90-minute Sci-Fi Comedy show, Akward Re-Entry, for crowds at the Manchester Fringe.

Phillip, like his icon David Bowie, is a multifaceted creator of lyrical storytelling and art who is worth checking out.
