About John Allen

I write under the pen name of J.W. Allen (because there are too many John Allen's) for fiction and scripts. My work has appeared at Simultaneous Times (Podcast), Queen's Theatre, Dark Matter Magazine, Sci-Fi Lampoon and more. I won the QuaranCon 2022 Speculative Fiction Prize and was a finalist for the 2019 Val Wood Romance Prize. I enjoy working with teams and collaborating with different people and production companies

I hold a Silver Award and two Honourable Mention Awards for Writers of the Future and was a finalist for both the James White Award in 2018 and the Val Wood Romance Prize in 2019. I've spoken and moderated at many events and conventions including Nine Worlds, BristolCon, and Capricon and am an active member of several writing groups including Spectrum Writers, Queens Theatre Writers.
