I'm compiling a list of writers who made their debut at an advanced age (55+).
When my dad was young, he wanted to be a writer. He gave that dream up, and this year he's turning 60. He told me over Christmas that he'd been half-thinking of writing again, but that there was no point, as an old unpublished man would never be accepted.
I told him that was not true.
For his upcoming birthday, I plan on giving him a book by an old first-timer, and inside the cover a list of all those people who got their break at around his age. My list at this stage isn't nearly impressive enough. I'd like you to help me.
Do you know any writers who published their first novel aged 55+ ?
Thanks a bunch
