Ian M Rogers author

My name’s Ian M. Rogers and this is my awesome website. As my passion, I write cool, funny literary novels. To pay the bills, I work as an Editor and Writing Coach.

I also lived in Japan for a long time, teaching first on the JET Program, then at Kanagawa University in Yokohama.

(Also, you definitely shouldn’t confuse me with the other Ian Rogers, the Canadian writer of dark fiction and supernatural noir. Don’t forget the M!)

But I Also Have a Day Job

Building a creative career isn’t easy. On But I Also Have a Day Job I blog about balancing my creative work with keeping the bills paid, and interview cool creative people about how they got where they are.

Need an Editor?

As an Editor and Writing Coach I help fiction writers and academics through the pitfalls of the writing process. Whether you need a second eye for your novel or journal article or want to talk ideas over Zoom, I’ll help make your writing the very best it can be.

Read more about my Editing and Writing Coach work here (even though I kind of dislike the term Writing Coach, which sounds too much like a sports thing…).
