Genre


Joe Heap was born in 1986 to a biology teacher and a drama teacher, and grew up in a house that was 70% books, 25% bags of unmarked homework, 18% underpants drying on radiators, and 3% scattered Lego bricks.

He is very bad at maths.

In 2004 Joe won the Foyle Young Poet award, and his poetry has been published in several periodicals. He studied for a BA in English Literature at Stirling University and a Masters in Creative Writing at Glasgow University, during which time he ate a deep-fried Mars Bar. It was okay.

Joe is now a full-time writer, but previously worked as an editor of books for kids and young adults. He has also been a subtitler for BBC News, a face painter at a safari park and a removal man for a dental convention. Before smartpho

“Music could have made her forget the present, for a moment, even if only by making her remember the past.”
Joe Heap, When the Music Stops

“There is something expansive, even a little obsessive, about his mind. It’s full of curious and relics, monographs on music and reams of sheet music. She feels as though she is wandering around a charming if rather cramped second-hand bookshop. She wants to stay there, browsing through it all, for as long as possible.”
Joe Heap, When the Music Stops

“Playing feels like opening a door to a private room were she can go and collect herself. That’s why she does it – not to get better or impress anyone, but only to feel free for a while, a bird in flight.”
Joe Heap, When the Music Stops
