Colin Harvey, Bristol based editor and author.

Colin Harvey is the editor of the SF anthology, Future Bristol, and the author of the novels Winter Song and the forthcoming Damage Time, both from Angry Robot Books. His short fiction has appeared in Interzone and Albedo One, and various anthologies, earning him an Honorable Mention in Ellen Datlow's Year's Best Horror.

Colin worked for twenty years for a multinational manufacturer of soap powders, deodorants and ready-meals, his proudest memory launching Ben & Jerry's ice cream in Iceland. Since leaving he has worked as an almost full-time writer for the last three years, apart from putting in about ten hours a week in the Bristol Eye Hospital, moving patient files from room to room in a process that can only be described as surreal...

He went back to university in 2009 to take a degree in Creative Writing and Media Communications, studying new formats such as scriptwriting, gaming and poetry, about all of which he admits to knowing less than nothing. His website is at  http://www.colin-harvey.com
