Meet Nathan, the Poet Laureate of Malibu, California!

Nathan grew up in Horsham, England where his love of language and the art of writing led him to earn a Masters (Distinction) in Creative Writing.

With dual citizenship in England and the U.S., Nathan later moved to sunny California with his (now) wife, establishing a career as a writer, editor, and entrepreneur.

Nathan is a seasoned, fastidious, detail-obsessed writer and editor with over 10 years of experience. Through his work, he has helped bring various books and articles to life, working with clients in poetry, psychology, self-help, business, and memoirs.

As of September 2023, Malibu’s City Council appointed Nathan as the Poet Laureate—a tradition in poetry that spans the globe as far back as 1342. In this position, Nathan currently serves his community by leading poetry events, workshops, and more to inspire all levels of poets to harness their creative spirit.

Nathan is also the founder of The Poetry Vessel and host of The Poetry Vessel Podcast and YouTube Channel.

If Nathan isn’t writing poetry, you can find him traveling the country with his wife, Rachael, in their vintage Winnebago RV, eating breakfast burritos, or enjoying the beautiful Malibu beaches while contrasting the views with cacophonic music.
