Edward is The History Quill’s executive editor and lead content editor. Also a freelance writer and pitch coach, Edward has a first-class degree in History and French from the University of Exeter, which included a year teaching English in France. He is an avid reader and writer of historical fiction and loves nothing more than helping people to tell stories. A content editor and tutor with The History Quill, Edward speaks French and is currently working on a novel set in 15th-century France. 

If Edward were stranded on a desert island, the two historical novels he would want with him are A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles – the most charming reminder of how to stay positive, creative and classy in isolation – and, for sweeping scope and engrossing escapism, The Lions of Al-Rassan, Guy Gavriel Kay’s alternative history of Reconquista-era Iberia.
