edit data

Joshua Potts is a writer, actor and teacher based in Manchester, UK.

As a child, Joshua was a voracious reader of any book he could get his hand on but his favourites were always those with strange worlds and quirky characters. He started writing his own stories at a very young age and as an adult, he remains attracted to off-the-wall ideas. He lists his main influences as Edgar Allan Poe, Robert E. Howard and Stan Lee, among many, many others.

Joshua achieved his Masters Degree in Theatre: Writing, Directing and Performance at the University of York, where he wrote a play for his dissertation.
