About Me

My name is Liam Clark. I refuse to give up on the arts and humanities in the 21st century. I have dreamt of being a writer since I was around six. In the 18 or so years that have followed, I have produced a first novel which is being considered by literary agents, and I have done so according to my own methods and philosophy. 

I am boundlessly passionate about the revolutionary power of education and literature. I have experienced it firsthand in volunteer tutoring roles delivered in both English and French, for elementary and high school students, which have been some of the most rewarding experiences I have ever had. My foremost goal in life is the furtherance and promotion of contemporary literature, literacy, and democracy. 

I am exhilarated and propelled by artistic innovation and experimentation, and particularly by the new frontiers opening up thanks to technological developments such as artificial intelligence. I categorically reject the notion that technology represents a mortal threat to art, or for that matter to democracy, pluralism, civil society and other vital societal imperatives which are often put at odds with it. With human ingenuity, determination, and creativity, renewal and renaissance are thrillingly possible. 

I hold a B.A. in art history and have studied English, journalism, philosophy, creative writing, history, sociology, and political science. In my current professional life, apart from my writing, I work in media monitoring for the Government of British Columbia, summarizing and curating each day’s relevant news items for officials. 

I love cats, grammar, Björk, Frankenstein, pineapple rum, Jeremy Bentham, Gilmore Girls, homemade pie crust, and grunge music. In my spare time, I can usually be found overthinking something or forgetting to take my makeup off before I fall asleep.
