Henry Wright Biography

Henry Wright grew up in Cambridge, a city whose energy and conversation shaped his ear for language. He discovered early that a clean turn of phrase could bring ordinary moments into sharp focus. At The Perse School in Cambridge he edited the student paper, won a regional young writers’ competition, and learned to file on deadline with a cool head. His mother worked in education and kept the house stocked with books. His father was a design engineer who taught him to value clear thinking and tidy craft, lessons Henry carried into every page he writes.
