Biography

Paul Cavanagh came to international attention when he was named the world’s first Lit Idol at the London Book Fair in the UK. Because he lives in London Ontario, he’s adopted the moniker Not That London Writer. He’s published three novels. They include After Helen (his award-winning debut), Missing Steps, and Weekend Pass. Paul has been compared to Pulitzer Prize winner Anne Tyler for his ability to be at turns funny and moving while exploring the paradoxes of modern family relationships. He's worked as a therapist, educator, health care consultant, and freelance writer. Visit him at notthatlondon.com
