A writer who teaches. A teacher who writes.

Stories and resources shaped by the classroom.

Olly is a secondary English teacher and novelist based in Scotland. He teaches from S1 to Advanced Higher and writes fiction that brings history, philosophy and moral choice into the lives of ordinary people.

His classroom resources grow from the same principle as his novels: readers engage more deeply when demanding ideas are made accessible without being simplified away.

With a background in English and Philosophy and years of classroom practice, his work connects careful thought with practical clarity.
