Robin Waterfield

He was an invited lecturer at Williams College, Massachusetts, in January and February 2000, and Writer in Residence at the University of Sussex in the academic year 2001-2; and between 2002 and 2005 he taught academic writing skills at several universities and colleges in London and south-east England. This work was paid for by the Royal Literary Fund, and he was also a member of the RLF’s Higher Education Panel, whose purpose was to address the crisis in writing and literacy skills currently afflicting British universities. But in 2005 he chose to leave Britain altogether for sunnier and, supposedly, cheaper climes. He now lives with his wife Kathryn and two cats in the rural far south of Greece, where as well as writing he has a small olive farm, producing organic olive oil. He is co-editor, with Richard Alston, of the Oxford University Press series ‘Ancient Warfare and Civilization’. He has given invited lectures both in the UK and in the States, has appeared on radio a number of times (chiefly in the context of publicizing a book), and in the expanded version of BBC2's 2010 production 'Ancient Worlds'. He has written over 200 book reviews for academic journals. Apart from 30 retellings of other people’s books (for children, audio tapes and the EFL market), and about the same number of miscellaneous articles and introductions, his main publications are listed in the relevant sections of this website.
