Chiswick Timeline of Writers: Novels, plays, poems
The Chiswick Timeline of Writers & Books lists around 425 writers who have written a book and lived in Chiswick W4, or written books about the area. See A Quick Guide.
Below we list the writers of Novels, plays and poems, by subject area: 1. Novels, including crime (see also next section); 2. Novels, scenes set in Chiswick; 3. Poems, libretti, lyrics; 4. Plays, TV & film (some are also novelists); 5. Humour; 6. Children’s books, plays, films (inc non-fiction).
Most links on the authors’ names below connect to their book(s), their own website or the Writers Trail. Where other links are indicated, click ‘Life’ or ‘Career’ to read more about them – and ‘W4’ for a published connection with Chiswick (we shall add more details in coming weeks). CWRG stands for Chiswick Writers Research Group.
In April 2020 we added 75 names, who are still listed on the Latest names page, with others soon to be added. See Notes and sources: We have tried to ensure that all those named have lived in, or written about, Chiswick – but are open to corrections.
