Hi There!

Welcome to the new website. Bright colours, easy navigation, mostly new jokes. I’m still chatty, over-caffeinated, and running late. Still bad at social media. Still as surprised by the world as I look in this old picture (my hair is gray and I have different glasses, but this may give the truest idea of me). Recent news: I have sunglasses for the first time in my life! Also a grandchild. Want to know anything more about me? You’re in the right place.

It’s been a minute since my last update. In addition to the sunglasses, I have two new books. At The Speed Of Gus features a neurodivergent goof who sets off to visit his big sister when he gets expelled from school. Your Story Matters is my take on the writing process. It’s funny and practical - with, like, exercises and stuff. Check out the Books page for more. Blog is about what I'm writing now, which will probably get me in trouble.

Are you sitting down? You'd better be. Because this trailer will Blow You Away. (Seriously, it's pretty epic. Try not to giggle.)

Richard Scrimger is the award-winning author of more than 20 books, mostly for children. He teaches creative writing at Humber College in Toronto, and travels around telling audiences that stories matter. His recent novels feature an ‘irresistible’ superhero, a magic camera, and the back end of Laura Secord’s cow. On a personal note, he is right-handed. Do not follow @richardscrimger
