Nathan Whitlock

I’ll be appearing at the GritLit festival on April 21st. The Approximators will be hosting live-karaoke parties every month, in Hamilton and elsewhere. And the WHAT HAPPENED NEXT podcast comes out every Monday.

 
 

Nice things said about me:

 

“Whitlock is wry, smart, and never boring.” (1)

“An assured writer with a patient comic touch.” (2)

“An ear for authentic dialogue and the constant negotiation and disappointment that is adult life.” (3)

“Such a fine knack for observational details that one can’t help but become engrossed.” (4)

“Everyday mini-tragedies morph into snort-worthy comedy when put under Nathan Whitlock's microscope.” (5)
