8 Timothy Taylor
Around a decade and a half ago Timothy Taylor made a momentous, rather unlikely, transition from banker to writer.
What he did not change were his banker-like work habits. He goes to his office in downtown Vancouver and writes. The results
of the MBA’s structured workday approach to writing speak for themselves. His short fiction won the Journey Prize with an unprecedented three stories published
in the Journey Prize Anthology. His first novel, Stanley Park, a murder mystery all about chefs and food, was shortlisted for the Giller Prize and was the
Vancouver Public Library’s One Book, One Vancouver selection for 2001. His second novel, Story House, is a complex, meticulously researched
bestseller built around the subject of architecture. Although principally a novelist, Timothy
Taylor also writes short stories, magazine articles and documentary films. He has also optioned out his screenplay for Stanley Park.
His highly anticipated third novel, The Blue Light Project, involves a street artist, a journalist, an Olympic gold medallist and a hostage taking.
