Jo Verity started writing six years ago ‘to see if she could’. In 2003 she won the first Richard & Judy Short Story Competition with ‘Rapid Eye Movement’ and, in 2004, the Western Mail Short Story Competition with ‘The Experiment’. Her story ‘Carrying On’ was broadcast on Radio Four. She has had stories published in several magazines and anthologies.
Her debut novel Everything in the Garden (Honno) was published in June 2005 and she is working on her second book.
Jo recently gave up work as a graphic designer to write full time. She lives in Cardiff.
