Born in London in 1975, Tristan Donovan is a non-fiction author and freelance journalist/editor who planned to become an ecologist before getting distracted by journalism.
His first two books are Replay: The History of Video Games (2010, Yellow Ant) and Fizz: How Soda Shook Up the World (2013, Chicago Review Press). That playing too many video games while drinking too much soda featured heavily in his childhood is just coincidence.
Feral Cities: Adventures with Animals in the Urban Jungle (2015, Chicago Review Press), finally put his ecology degree to use.
Tristan’s board games book – It’s All A Game published by Thomas Dunne in the US has been translated into many languages.
He lives in East Sussex, in the UK, with two ham-obsessed dachshunds.
“Isabel has great taste, and is a pleasure to work with. She’s flexible, reasonable and professional.”
