Chris Walsh writes literary fiction and memoir about joy, anxiety, failure, being, and the everyday work of being alive. His work blends working-class perspectives with emotional honesty and a quietly philosophical (and sometimes absurd) sense of humour, often set in the overlooked margins of modern England. Originally from Middlesbrough, Chris has lived in London, Kent, and various states of hope and disrepair. He writes about ordinary lives lived with unusual awareness. His first full length novel, The Dig Street Festival, was published by Louise Walters Books in 2021 and reissued by the author in 2025 with a new preface. Chris's latest book, Book of Jobs — a memoir of a working life — was published in December 2025. Other work is forthcoming, unfinished, or slowly taking shape during long walks and late nights.
