About Me

My debut novel, The Normal State of Mind (Parthian, 2015) was long listed for the Mumbai Association of Moving Images (MAMI) Word to Screen Prize. Table Manners (Dahlia Books, 2018) won the Saboteur Award for Best Short Story Collection in 2019. My short stories have been featured on BBC Radio 4.

I develop and deliver writing workshops for various art galleries and organisations around Hampshire and beyond. I teach creative writing at University of Winchester and am a trustee of The Winchester Poetry Festival. I’ve also developed ands teach a short story course for Professional Writing Academy.

I’m co-founder of Write Beyond Borders, a transnational mentoring project writers from South Asia and its diaspora.

Hi, I’m Dan Bowhay, a photographer, artist, and all-around creative person. My passion for photographing events comes from my background in the arts. I have created and brought to fruition many a creative project, so I understand the passion involved in bringing events and performances to life. I thrive on being able to bring out the energy, excitement, and emotions through my photographs. I’ve photographed events and performances in Hampshire, Dorset, and beyond, and covered genres including dance, pageantry, and arts and cultural events. I’ve also photographed actors and worked photographing on many film sets.

I am a children’s playwright, poet and community creative writing facilitator. With fifteen years experience working in the sector, I have had multiple plays for primary school age children to perform published and have had works for children and families commissioned from theatres and arts organisations. My playwrighting focus is on inclusive history that is curriculum-adjacent or locally relevant and I’m particularly passionate about amplifying the stories of marginalised women and girls from the past. I work with schools and in the community delivering a range of bespoke workshops to young people, families and to those living with dementia and their carers.
