Dave Haslett lives in Devon, England, and is the founder and Creative and Technical Director of ideas4writers - the ideas and inspiration website (www.ideas4writers.com) - which he established in 2002.
His books include The Fastest Way to Write Your Book, The Fastest Way to Get Ideas, How to Win Short Story Competitions (co-written with Geoff Nelder), and the annual The Date-A-Base Book series which each list thousands of newsworthy historical anniversaries (months or years in advance) for you to write about (and make money from!)
His 35 collections of ideas for writers are available on Kindle (and also as PDFs from ideas4writers.com).
Although primarily a non-fiction writer, Dave is also the author of several novels, which he writes under a different name.
He has a postgraduate degree in computing and is a member of Mensa. He won a poetry award at the age of 7 and wrote and illustrated his first book (an encyclopaedia of freshwater tropical fish) at the age of 13.
When time allows, Dave is also a reasonably good artist and a composer of electronic music, and enjoys going on really long walks with his partner, Lorraine.
