After graduating from Reading University in 2003, Robert briefly worked as a journalist in India before turning to the world of film editing, where he has been employed ever since.

As well as prose, he has written several screenplays. His directorial debut Sexy Pig was broadcast on the BBC HD channel, and Ham was selected for the 2013 Atlantic Film Festival.

He now lives and works in north-west London, roaming the streets in search of inspiration, drinking too much coffee and not writing as much as he should.

In 2012, he won Apostrophe Books’ Fiction Fast-Track new-writing competition with The King of Spain, which is his first novel.
