David Nicholls
It’s basically a source of information about the books and films, a place to find out more about forthcoming projects, extracts and articles, and a home for various things that I am passionate about. There are also one or two frankly dishonest photographs in which I appear much more youthful and energetic than I really am.
Websites are a bit of a departure for me, so I hope that this does the trick. Please send me any suggestions, questions or comments. The best thing about writing for a living is the distractions, and I welcome them whole-heartedly.
Every Good Boy
I have recently written a short story for The Guardian.

One Day
‘I can imagine you at forty,’ she said, a hint of malice in her voice. ‘I can picture it right now.’
He smiled without opening his eyes. ‘Go on then.’
15th July 1988. Emma Morley and Dexter Mayhew meet for the first time on the night of their graduation. Tomorrow they must go their separate ways.
So where will they be on this one day next year? And the year after that? And every year which follows?

One Day - the movie
In June, July and August of 2010 we travelled between London, Paris, Edinburgh and Brittany, making our film version of One Day. Lone Scherfig directed, Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess played Emma and Dexter, and a wonderful cast, including Jodie Whittaker, Romola Garai, Rafe Spall, Ken Stott, and Patricia Clarkson, played the other roles.

Paperback publication day!
Thursday 4th February, paperback publication day! And also, I notice, a full two months since I promised to update my blog. Actually, the publication of the paperback is a strange sort of non-event for an author, as I’m never quite sure what I’m meant to do. Go to bookshops and sort of…hang around?
