Frasier Armitage

Frasier Armitage writes science fiction. Which is another way of saying he’s a thirty-something, self-confessed nerd who sits in a dark room scribbling in notebooks about things that are currently impossible.

When he was a tyke, his first doodles were of spaceships and superheroes, robots and aliens. Nowadays, his stories have developed from sketches into words, which he’s filling books with.

When he’s not writing, you’ll find him with his wife, watching Keanu Reeves movies, or noodling on his guitar. He’s a part-time robot, full-time nerd, imaginer of worlds, and resident of Earth.

Frasier won my very first writing contest in September 2020 and then won the January Contest in 2021.
