Autorenporträt
Pip Fallow grew up on a council estate deep in the coal fields of County Durham. Spewed out of the newly implemented comprehensive education system and destined for a life of cutting coal he found no coal to cut. He moved around for work and lived on his wits for a decade before landing back in a broken North East, now literate and ready to write. He is a bricklayer, published author and calls himself 'a former young socialist'. He was shortlisted for the Sid Chaplin Award for working class writing and has dabbled in acting, with a brief role in a Ken Loach film. Dragged Up Proppa is his first book.
