Gareth Southwell is a writer, illustrator and philosopher from South Wales in the UK.
He’s been involved with philosophy for over thirty years, is the author of numerous books on the subject, and has a PhD on the topic of “death” (which has been read by exactly four people, including himself).
He also writes sci-fi and fantasy novels under the devious pseudonym Gareth J. Southwell, which are just thinly fictionalised versions of his PhD thesis, with most of the boring bits taken out and replaced with robots and people swearing in Welsh.
Aside from all that, he designs and illustrates books for a living, and is the founder and editor-in-chief of WoodPig Press.
