Rupert Taylor spent ten years honing his craft as an award-winning writer and creative director for an international ad agency. He wrote a film called BEVERLY that screened at one film festival. That’s right, one. He also won a major international screenwriting competition that led to absolutely nothing getting made, but he does have several TV series in development, so you never know. Taylor’s short stories have been published widely including in Hobart, X-Ray, Maudlin House, Points In Case, and more. Please Let Me Destroy You (July 2024, No Frills Buffalo) is Taylor’s first novel. He currently lives in Sydney, with his partner and his daughter, who likes unicorns and shouting.
