About Bill Stewart

Hi, I’m Bill Stewart—a writer fuelled by imagination, inspired by life’s adventures, and driven by a lifelong love of storytelling. 

My writing journey started with short stories for children, where I explored meaningful life lessons through relatable characters and engaging plots. Over time, my creative path expanded into longer works, from middle-grade fiction to young adult themes, and most recently, two self-published sci-fi novels.

While my writing journey has been relatively quiet so far, with sales mostly in the USA, I’ve always been more focused on creating than seeking the limelight—a trait I attribute to my ADHD. But now, I’m ready to step out of the shadows and connect with a much bigger audience. My aim is to share my stories with readers around the world, and I’m excited for this next chapter.

You can find my books on KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) under the name Bill Stewart and through Draft2Digital, which has distributed my work to book stores worldwide, including Barnes & Noble and many others.

Thank you for taking the time to explore my journey. Whether you’re looking for heartfelt children’s stories, thrilling sci-fi adventures, or something in between, I invite you to dive into my world of storytelling.

Through the eyes of Maggie and Jimmy, a...
