Robert Ashton

Throughout my career I have written words the inspire change. I started by writing sales and marketing copy, then later when running my own small business, I wrote books about entrepreneurship. In 2019 I decided to write full-time, and enrolled at the University of East Anglia, graduating a year later with an MA in Creative Non-Fiction. The course helped me change direction, and realise a long held ambition, to write Where are the Fellows who Cut the Hay, a book that builds on those by oral historian George Ewart Evans. I’m also a Quaker and so strive to live sustainably and to champion equality. I live near the Suffolk coast and welcome opportunities to write for publications, or to speak about my latest books.
