Behind the stories
Nicholas Marshall writes across speculative fiction and literary fiction, with a particular interest in character, atmosphere, revision and the details that turn a manuscript into a finished book.
A story does not need to explain everything to know what it means.

On the writing desk
First draft
In a near-future Nottingham where weather forecasts have become granular enough to shape daily life, a quiet archivist discovers that the city’s climate records are being revised after the fact. As he traces the missing patterns, he begins to suspect the changes are not technical errors but an attempt to edit memory itself. The book follows a man who is better at noticing small discrepancies than explaining them, which is usually how trouble starts.
