Hello and welcome to the website of the British writer, Edward Docx.

Season 5 of Slow Horses is now out.

This was the best writers’ room I have ever been in. Episode 4 has one of my favourite lines — one of Shirley’s — so listen out for that. (Clue: “Trust your feelings.”)

Meanwhile, the latest novel, Let Go My Hand, is out now. You can read the reviews here and see if it might be for you. People say it’s funny and moving — so pretty much perfect for every occasion. All the other novels are here as well, just in case you wish to hoard a few thousand copies.

The new book is in the works, and there are three television shows that are right now being pitched — let’s see how that goes.

There’s also a selection of some of my other journalistic writing on here — political, cultural, literary — including “The Clown”, written for The Guardian, and “The Peak”, which was listed for the Orwell–Rowntree Prize.

But for now, here’s the famous paint pot sequence that I wrote.

(I do love how Tom and Jack play this – “I just came down the ladder, what did you just do?”)
