About Peter Kesterton
I was born in Manchester and as an only child found company in books and stories. I moved to Bristol to go to university, and loved the city so much I stayed on after graduating. I landed a job as a technician at the BBC and worked on radio dramas. Not content with simply doing the sound effects, I decided to write my own radio play. Many years and drawers full of rejections later, I had my radio drama Heads You Win, Tales I Lose broadcast on BBC Radio 4.
I went on to write stage plays, notably Air Guitar for the Bristol Old Vic Theatre and Playing with Snails which won the Croydon Warehouse International Playwriting competition 2011. I continued to write for BBC Radio. Here is link to my play University of Lies on Internet Archive.
In 2019, I went to Bath Spa University as a mature student, undertaking an MA in creative writing. I graduated with distinction. My debut novel, Girls Don’t Cry was partially written on the course.
