Neil Hughes

Neil Hughes (he/him) is the author of Walking on Custard, a hilarious guide to life with anxiety, and The Shop Before Life, a novel about choosing who we become. He avoids answering the question “so, what do you do?”, and instead spends his time programming computers, delivering humorous talks about anxiety, writing bad songs, doing standup comedy and studying physics. He would like it if you said hello atenhughesiasm.com.
