Nic Aubury was born in Watford in 1974, and spent most of the next eighteen years trying to get girls to laugh at his jokes. He went to Oxford to read Classics, and met a girl whose jokes made him laugh. They got married, and they now live in the provinces with their three sons. Nic has worked in advertising and teaching. He claims to have started writing poems mistake, but don’t let that put you off, his work is sharp, witty and perfectly pitched.
