About me

Hi, I’m Nick Frampton, a writer based in Exeter, Devon. I love getting out and about on the beaches and moors of Devon, attending food festivals with my baker-husband and am overly fond of watching 90s/00s verbose American high school dramas.
I really enjoy travelling and wrote an early draft of my debut novel The River on a round the world trip. The spectacular scenery of New Zealand inspired the landscapes of the novel. I’ve also used my experiences backpacking to co-write Your Big Adventure: An essential guide to travelling, backpacking and gap years.
For Christmas 2017 I wrote The Cardiff Christmas Club – a feel good festive romance set in the Welsh capital, where I lived for ten years.
When I’m not writing I can usually be found reading. I offer a professional beta reading service for writers, combining detailed feedback and critique with developmental advice and proofreading to support the editing process.
Thanks for checking out my website, if you’d like to find out more about my books or service as a beta reader you can find me on Twitter @framptonbooks or use the contact form below.
Nick.
My Writing
I love writing in a range of genres, but most of my work falls broadly in to fantasy, romance or travel. But I also think that blending genres adds to storytelling. I try to write fantasy fiction characters motivated by love, and romantic characters that are heroic in their own way.
My books are available as eBooks on Amazon, iBooks, Kobo and more. The Cardiff Christmas Club is also available as a paperback on Amazon.
If you’d like to try a sample of my writing, Adam 0532 is completely free.
Inspiration
I’ve always been drawn to the fantastical and the legacies of myth and history, magic and fairy-tale that underpin so much of storytelling.
Authors like C.S. Lewis, Philip Pullman, Margaret Atwood, Jasper Fforde and Kevin Brockmeier (to name a few) are writers that I regularly return to, and they have always inspired me with their ability to blend the familiar and the incredible.
Writing my debut novel The River has given me the chance to explore these themes of fantasy, mythology, gods and heroes for myself. The River is the first book in the epic Cities of Life and Death series and is out now.
Beta reading & developmental advice
As a writer I understand how important it is to get detailed and constructive feedback on your manuscript.
I offer an affordable and comprehensive beta-reading service that includes developmental advice and a light-touch proofread.
This means I go beyond the usual beta-reading level of feedback and provide practical support to help you address issues like plot-holes and characterisation using my own experiences as a writer.
