Alan Raw Writes

Climate Fiction Story Creator & Author of Salt & Seeds

I write hopeful speculative fiction about future adaptation, climate resilience, and humanity’s evolving relationship with Earth and space.

My novel, Salt & Seeds, is published by Grokkist Press. It’s a journey through rising seas, visionary resistance, and the power of community imagination. It’s for readers who believe storytelling can shape better futures.

I’m a former BBC journalist and pro-musician, turned sustainability practitioner, based on the Yorkshire Coast. I draw on decades of experience across media, Earth observation, permaculture, arts and education, all of which infuse my stories with realism and hope.

As a mentor and co-founder of several creative communities, I champion collaborative future thinking.

I’m available for book festivals, panels, workshops, and talks on speculative fiction and creative climate action.
