John-Paul Flintoff 2.0

Write | Perform | Make Art
Polymath? Abundant talents? You're welcome here.

I share what I do, in hope it might inspire you to do more of what YOU can do.

Hi, I'm John-Paul. I've published seven books in 16 languages: fiction, non-fiction, memoir, how-to, and illustrated poetry. For many years, I wrote for big serious newspapers (Financial Times, The Sunday Times).

As a child I wanted to be an artist, but a teacher put me off so I became a writer instead. Now I do both - hurrah! 

Art: I make and sell it, including commissions. See: https:/art.flintoff.org (and Instagram).

Writing, and public speaking: see my website, which has been going for more than 20 years, and is full of stuff: https://flintoff.org/ (and LinkedIn).

I called myself "2.0" because I had a breakdown in 2018 and felt like I was starting all over again. Sometimes I share stuff here about that, too.
