Steven Wells

Steven Wells is a journalist and author most know for his work as a music journalist for the NME and his poetry under the pseudonym Seething Wells.

In 1999 he started the ATTACK! Books publishing house with the following mission statement:

"This generation needs a NEW literature - writing that apes, matches, parodies and supercedes the flickeringly fast 900 MPH ATTACK! ATTACK! ATTACK! velocity of early 21st century popular culture at its most mEnTaL! We will publish writers who think they're rock stars, rock stars who think they're writers and we will make supernovas of the stuttering, wild-eyed, slack-jawed drooling idiot-geek geniuses who lurk in the fanzine/internet shadows...

"The self-perpetuating ponce-mafia oligarchy of effete bourgeois wankers who run the 'literary scene' must be swept aside by a tidal wave of screaming urchin tits-out teenage terror totty and DESTROYED! ATTACK! ATTACK! ATTACK!"

His debut book Tits Out Teenage Terror Totty soon followed, written entirely in the same breathless style.

Currently he is most active as a sports columnist for The Guardian.
