Tim Collins



I am originally from Manchester, but I now live near Oxford.

I've  published over one hundred books that have been translated into over forty languages.

These include series fiction like Sherlock Bones, Wimpy Vampire, Cosmic Colin, Dorkius Maximus and Monstrous Maud.

I have also written many stories for reluctant readers, and plenty of non-fiction for children and adults.

I have been lucky enough to win several awards such as Manchester Fiction City, The Lincolnshire Young People's Book Award and The Kalbacher Klapperschlange.

  1. Hi Tim, a child in my class has written a letter to you. I would love to be able to post it to you but I am finding a contact address difficult to find. Please could you let me know the best address to send it to.
    Many thanks, Mr Gary

  4. Dear Tim, my daughter has a question: why do you sometimes write under the name of Mr. Saddlewick? She has read some of your The Monter Mia and needs this information to make a presentation at school :) I am curious too :) Thank you very much for your answer! Best Regards

  8. Hello Tim, I'm a reader from China. My favorite is your Vampire Diary, which made me have a lot of fun in adolescence. Now that I'm an adult, I think of this book by chance. Although I know it's unrealistic, I want to ask the author if you have considered the idea of continuing Nigel's story, or if you have published a similar book but for some reason didn't publish it in our country. I hope I can read your book through some channels. Thank you very much.

  9. Thanks for getting in touch, I'm glad you love the book when you were younger. I would love to write more about the character one day, though I'm in the middle of another series at the moment.
