Bill Keeth lives in Middleton, Greater Manchester. He has lived in and around north Manchester all his life and worked for many years in Manchester schools. He began writing as a founder member of a writers’ workshop at Manchester College of Building. His debut novel, Every Street in Manchester [ISBN 1859880657] was shortlisted for the Portico Literary Prize, and is available from all good bookshops, including Waterstone’s, Borders and Amazon. A contemporaneous sequel, Manchester Kiss [ISBN 1859880673] was published in the same week as the Portico Literary Prize Presentation Dinner was held.
The first chapter of Every Street in Manchester was originally written as a short story and was only developed into its present novel form shortly after the new Millennium. Manchester Kiss then followed within the same twelve months.
Every Street in Manchester and Manchester Kiss are published
by Limited Edition Press, the original publishers of Billy Hopkins' Our
Kid.
