If you’d like to get in touch with me about my writing, perhaps to commission a short story or arrange a creative writing workshop, you can email me at Phil [at] polsen.co.uk

I am currently seeking representation from an agent or small press for my as-yet-unpublished short story collection.

I took on the role of Fiction Editor at Sabotage Reviews in March 2019.

For any Sabotage Reviews enquiries — whether you’d like to become a contributing reviewer, or have something reviewed — please contact Fiction [at] sabotagereviews.com 

Sabotage Reviews' focus is on independent, small-budget literature; pamphlets, short stories and novellas. Please note: Novels are not reviewed.

Please note that the Sabotage Reviews website is currently offline (the site went down in late 2024), and the Saboteur Awards are on hiatus (no awards took place in 2024 or 2025). Past reviews can be viewed on the Internet Archive Wayback Machine.
