Richard Lambert was born in London. He has had many different jobs including teaching medieval history. For the last ten years he has lived in Norfolk where he works for the NHS and writes stories and poems.
One of his stories was shortlisted for the Sunday Times Short Story Award and another won the Fish Short Story Prize, and his poems have been in the Times Literary Supplement, The Spectator, and The Forward Prize Anthology.
His second poetry collection, The Nameless Places, was published in 2017 and many of the poems in it are a response to the landscape around the River Waveney, on the Suffolk-Norfolk border. The collection was shortlisted for the East Anglian Book Awards.
Richard's first novel for YA readers, The Wolf Road, was published by Everything With Words in 2020.
