Andrew Oldham’s fiction has appeared in such publications as Transmission and The Sunday Times. His first breakthrough fiction in the late nineties was Neuter, which was shortlisted for the trAce/Alt-X Hypertext Prize. The text was finally included in several US university digital writing programs. He has been cited as one of the first wave of UK writers to write for the internet rather than reproduce work on it. This transliterary movement has been documented and discussed in Transliteracy in action: Digital Livings. Neuter was a cross media fiction piece bringing together online text, site jacking and flashmob. His early work saw him take on the mantle of visionary writer (City Life 1999) in the field of science fiction and high fantasy which Andrew points out has nothing to do with Orcs, breast plates or Middle Earth.  His first unpublished novel won an Arts Council award and was nominated for the Jerwood-Arvon. After a decade of journalism, poetry and film, he wrote several short stories for such publishers as Route, where he trained a monkey to kill a private detective. He is presently writing his first novel, The Reformation, an SF novel dealing with the difference between living and surviving. He continues to write flash fiction and has moved from monkeys to stalking whale boys through the streets of Paris in his short story The Song of the Whale Boy published in Gargoyle. In 2011 he launched the online festival Goggle (hosting such writers as Chris Beckett, Elizabeth Baines, Ailsa Cox and Carys Bray). This was was followed by the e-publisher Goggle in 2012, dedicated to short fiction, vodcasts and online readings. Andrew still works in the transliterary field and is interested in the migration of fiction.
