About me

Hello and welcome. I’m John Ward and this is my website.

I’m a WRITER of comics, prose, and film/TV, and creator of the Virtual Creator Con, and I also created the 49 degrees north writers podcast.

I have a PhD in String Theory. You can read some of my past publications here and if you’re a glutton for punishment, you can read my PhD thesis here.
