Felix Hodcroft is a prolific writer and performer based in Scarborough, North Yorkshire. Manchester-born, Oxford-bred, Felix gained degrees in English Literature and Applied Social Sciences, and worked as a probation officer in Birmingham, Hull and East Yorkshire – after detours into the worlds of civil service and grave digging.
He is renowned for his passionate, animated style of spoken-word performance, particularly as one half of ‘The Hull to Scarborough Line’, a double-act with fellow Valley Press author Sue Wilsea.
He is the author of Life After Life After Death (2010), a collection of poetry, and Lives of Lilo (2012), a children’s novel with adult appeal, both published by Valley Press. In 2014 he edited the anthology A Pocketful of Windows, sixty-six poems by writers from North and East Yorkshire. Felix was also the editor of It Is I Who Speak, a volume of selected poems by his friend and fellow poet Nigel Gerrans, published in 2015.
