Who is Scott A. Butler?
Scott is just an everyday, ordinary British man with a pen and a laptop.
He has a very firm addiction to tea and is fascinated by anything British.
Born in the 80's, Scott lost his natural hearing during his childhood, now relying on the use of hearing aids to be able to hear. He was a very mischievous child who always enjoyed writing.
Scott has previously worked for a family property restoration business alongside the CEO, he has volunteered at some schools in various roles and was a supervisor at an educational centre for children with physical, mental and learning disabilities.
After losing his natural hearing at a very young age, Scott developed a very active imagination. He discovered his passion for writing when he found an old typewriter in his grandparent's house at the age of eight. From then on he would pen or type stories for his own entertainment and share them with his family.
At the age of twelve, Scott discovered through his grandfather that he is related to a famous author and poet, Samuel Butler, who is best known for his utopian novel, "Erewhon", for being one of the first authors to describe machines with artificial consciousness and translating some of Homer's works into English.
Writing runs Scott's blood.
As a child, Scott was fascinated and influenced by authors such as Roald Dahl and R.L. Stine. Growing up he gained further influence from more authors such as Terry Pratchett, J.R.R Tolkien and Stephen King, to name three.
After spending some time as a freelance article writer, Scott decided that he would attempt to focus on story writing once again.
He is currently working on a dystopia-genre novel series.

Scott's Writing
Scott was an interviewer and a writer for a magazine on deafness and hearing loss, which was published by his school and distributed to students, teachers, parents and the local area.
Scott has been trying out some freelance writing under a pseudonym. He has discontinued one of his previous freelance blogs due to constant plagiarism against him. He now writes under a different pseudonym and, so far, remains plagiarist free. When it comes to freelancing, Scott enjoys writing articles about science and animal related topics, occasionally about food too. When he is not freelancing, Scott finds it enjoyable writing fantasy, dystopia steampunk and apocalyptic stories. He is in the process of publishing some short eBooks, which may be found under the "Scott's Books" tab on this website. He also plans to write a series of full-length dystopia genre novels. |
Scott's Hobbies & Interests
Scott enjoys spending his time writing, usually a short story, an article or (slowly) working on a novel.
Scott is also a self-confessed animal lover. He has a strong interest in science, history and animal subjects. He is also a movie fanatic and can often be observed enjoying a sci-fi, horror, comedy or action film. To unwind and relax, Scott enjoys nothing more than a quiet cup of tea with a view. He also enjoys going for walks and travelling to new countries. He also donates some of his spare time to a community-based Questions & Answers website. |
