Today we meet Ross Raisin, 28, an author from Bradford.

“God’s own country has a terrifically exciting plot
and exists wonderfully within its medium of words. A writer who loves the
oddities of the language, and who can create a dialect both observed and
fantastic out of his collected material, is a writer who will go far.” – Philip Henscher, writer.

Ross began
writing before university and continued to write during his undergraduate
course at Kings College, London. He then started a creative writing MA at
Goldsmiths College, London…

It was towards the end of his time at Goldsmiths
that he began his first novel – God’s Own Country. Ross is now writing his
second book, a novel set in Glasgow about an ex-shipyard worker and what
happens to him after the death of his wife.
