Craig Taylor
Biography
Craig Taylor (born 1976) is a Canadian writer and playwright. He is the author of several books, among them Return to Akenfield, a follow-up to Ronald Blythe's 1969 work; One Million Tiny Plays About Britain, a collection of short plays; the best-selling Londoners, and New Yorkers, which won the Brooklyn Public Library Prize for Non-Fiction. Taylor teaches creative writing at Vancouver Island University. In the Times Literary Supplement, Mary Norris described Taylor as "as skilled a writer of literary nonfiction as I have ever read." The New York Times calls his work a "master class in self-effacing journalism." According to the Toronto Star, "His literary forebears are James Agee, author of Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, and Joseph Mitchell, who captured the heartbeat of New York in the magazine pieces that comprise Up In the Old Hotel." From 2008 to 2023, Taylor served as editor of Five Dials, a literary magazine published by Hamish Hamilton, an imprint of Penguin Random House UK.
