Geoff Busbridge ~ Artist's Statement
I can’t stop telling stories. I have at least six running through my mind, always. I turn pain, depression, and uncertainty into words that we can digest, enjoy, and maybe even laugh at.
I balance character, wonder, and magic systems, allowing each to shape the other. I lean toward long-form high-fantasy epics, but enjoy tinkering in adjacent forms. I am learning about inclusion and trauma awareness through my writing. I want my readers to come away with a sense that no matter how dark things get there is hope, no matter how badly we’ve messed up we can make things better, and no matter how much pain there is, there is always room for joy.
I draw inspiration from many writers, including Brandon Sanderson, Mary Robinette Kowal, Howard Tayler, Dan Wells, Tad Williams, Patrick Rothfuss, Chris Wooding, and Scott Lynch.
