edit data

Finn Longman is an author and medievalist, originally from London. They write young adult and adult fiction, with a particular interest in genre-bending stories about identity, friendship, and monstrosity – of the metaphorical or the literal sort. They've spent most of their adult life either working as a library assistant or studying for increasingly niche degrees in medieval literature, but when they don't have their head in a book they can usually be found playing folk music in a local pub.

Finn is currently a PhD student at the University of Cambridge, researching friendship and affection in the later Ulster Cycle.

News and Intentions

I’m often asked how I manage to balance a full-time PhD with writing novels (while chronically ill), and the truth is, quite simply, that I don’t.

Quotes by Finn Longman (?)

“You think all that’s inside you is darkness, Isabel, but I see light there. It’s small and it’s starved, but it’s there. And I wish you could see it too.’
‘A candle can’t do much against a black hole.’
‘So light another candle.”
― Finn Longman, The Butterfly Assassin
