Sean Wright was born in Peterborough, England, in 1959. He attended the St.Peter's Primary School and the Queen's Secondary School in Wisbech. When he left he spent a year at the Isle College, studying print and design. He learned how to take photographs, process film, compose type, design layouts, tinkered in the repro room, messed about with the litho printing machines and generally learned a great deal about 'the old-fashioned' printing trade. This is where his great love of books - both written and illustrated began.

More recently, he has signed over 500 books in two hours at the prestigious London bookshop, Hatchard's, Piccadilly, and signed at events with Ruth Rendell, PD James, Michelle Paver, PB Kerr, and Eleanor Updale.

Sean has been recognised as one of fifteen of the world's most collectable modern children's authors by Book and Magazine Collector alongside JK Rowling, Philip Pullman and GP Taylor. During Xmas 2004, his novel The Twisted Root of Jaarfindor was recommended by The Observer national newspaper in its finance and investments pages as a top collectable, along with Pullman's Scarecrow and his Servant, The Beatle's Yellow Submarine, Paver's Wolf Brother, and Charmian Hussey's Valley of Secrets.

In 2005, he was named as one of Hatchard's Authors of the Year, and featured at Foyle's bookshop as a current favourite in the children's department. His second teenage-adult crossover title - Dark Tales of Time and Space - sold out in hardback first edition,first printing, emulating his debut crossover success with the critically acclaimed The Twisted Root of Jaarfindor. In 2005 The Twisted Root of Jaarfindor was short-listed for a British Fantasy Award for BEST NOVELLA. His third teenage-adult book - Wicked Or What? - was published in October 2005.

His writing has been compared by fans and critics with three legendary figures in the fantasy/horror/sci-fi genre: Michael Moorcock, Mervyn Peake, and Philip K Dick. As well as liking his new weird, surreal, and bizarre post-modern work to China Mieville, Jeff Vandermeer, and M. John Harrison. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
