Re: Writers' biographies
Dear Matthias, I have had quite a bit of writing published and I did not go to college or university. My formal education stopped at 18. Justin has a fair point about creative writing courses too. Some of the most powerful and original writers in our field did not have formal education beyond school either: eg Robert Aickman, Arthur Machen, Algernon Blackwood, M P Shiel, David Lindsay, Hope Hodgson, Mary Butts. The best advice about writing is the simplest: read a lot, walk a lot, look and listen a lot, write when you must. Good luck!
