About Graeme Parker

Graeme Parker is a Geordie by birth but has been living and working in Dundee for so long now he is almost accepted as one of their own. He is co-owner of horror publishing imprints Poe Boy (in the USA) and Poe Girl Publishing (in the UK) and also works as a publishing consultant for various others.

He has always been keen on films and got his first short “Life Is a Lottery” made in the USA by MONSTERWORKS66 in 2013 – unlucky for some! Graeme continues to work with new writers in all forms and wants to pass on his experience with writing for the screen to inspire others. “If I can do it anyone can!”
