This is a thing I'm doing in 2024. Sign up to Justin's creative writing course and you'll get the opportunity to meet me, ask me questions about my writing process and hopefully leave with a few new magic tricks up your sleeve.
Ever considered a creative writing course? I'll be running my short story course again in January. A fun packed eight weeks, including a special meet the author session with @NeilVBartlett. Join me. It's going to be absolutely bleedin' gorgeous. More info: bit.ly/3VkRFrW

It's out! The Disappearance Boy is back on the bookshelves, thanks to Inkandescent, and this time with a fascinating Afterword provided by our good man, @DerrenBrown. Thank you, Derren, darling. x
When the author of THE DISAPPEARANCE BOY @NeilVBartlett persuaded mentalist extraordinaire @DerrenBrown to join him for a revealing and sometimes decidedly queer conversation about the art and craft of illusion. Read 'The Joy of the Trickster' here: bit.ly/49oZHa1

Bear with me while I catch up. I don't use this platform very often. I'm more of a Facebook person and it's hard to even keep up with that. If you haven't already heard, I have some news for you...
