Martin Fitzgerald is an author and screenwriter from London. His first book, Ruth and Martin’s Album Club (2017), was a collection of essays on classic albums followed by reviews from celebrities hearing them for the first time. It featured contributions from Richard Osman, Ian Rankin, Bonnie Greer and many more.

During lockdown in 2020 he wrote his first screenplay, Campbeltown ’69, which focuses on Paul and Linda McCartney during the break-up of the Beatles. It’s currently in pre-production.

His particular interest is taking well-worn stories, approaching them from a new angle and finding the comedy and absurdity within them.
