Author and Freelancer

Ian Butler began writing in 2008 after suffering a stroke in England. Currently living with his partner in County Fermanagh, Ian has over twenty years experience in social work, including working with high-risk offenders. Previous to this he travelled extensively across Europe and The Americas. Interested in fiction and non-fiction as well as polemical pieces from a left of centre perspective, Ian is developing novels, plays and screenplays. His first screenplay was short-listed for NI Screen's Primetime award and a first novel 'Burger Bar Dad' was published in 2012. Ian has had work published in the local Fermanagh papers, various professional journals and lately on the BBC website. He has written for political journals, mostly on the subjects of global warming and social issues. He has also had contributions published on-line in various political blogs. Currently Chair-person of the Fermanagh Creative Writing Group, Ian has been instrumental in helping it reach a prominent position in the cultural life of the County. Although somewhat incapacitated by his stroke, he is still able to travel, and is a keen photographer.
