My Bio
My personalised poetry
My Beginnings
Hatman is a dyslexic mixed-race author hailing from South East London. Growing up in a single-parent family, he discovered his passion for writing at a young age, penning his first poem at just seven years old. His talent was quickly recognized and he went on to perform on the London poetry scene alongside famous poets such as Mister Gee.
Hatman's work as a teacher in SEN (Special Educational Needs) has given him a unique perspective on the importance of literature in engaging and inspiring children. It was his five children who provided the constant inspiration for his stories, and he was inspired to write children's books that celebrate diversity, creativity, and imagination.
In 2020, during the global pandemic, Hatman was dealt a devastating blow with the loss of his Uncle, who was like a father to him and an English teacher. In the face of this tragedy, he took a leap of faith and self-published his first book, realizing that life is too short to put his dreams on hold.
Today, Hatman continues to write stories that inspire and entertain children, and his unique voice and perspective have won him a dedicated following of young readers. Through his books, he hopes to encourage children to embrace their differences, chase their dreams, and find their place in the world.

My personalised poetry
Whether it's a wedding or a death
a blessing or a birth
It don't matter if it's ground breaking
or down-to-earth
The Hatman will find the words
To express your thoughts, feelings or desires
and yes; I am available for hire
Speaking engagements and strategic breaks
Commercial poetry
To sell anything from pottery to cakes
Build your brand with a slogan
Whatever your needs are
I want to know them
Need a jingle or snappy song
Just call the Hatman
You can't go wrong.
