John Mawdsley is a Calgary-based humourist and short story writer whose creative work draws on a varied professional and personal life. Before turning to writing, he worked as a geologist and financial analyst, producing technical reports; he is now developing his craft through creative writing classes focused on humour and nonfiction prose. His work brings an observational, often self-deprecating perspective to family, grief, everyday mishaps, and the transitions between careers.
Published pieces include reflections on losing his parents, family history, and whether fight or flight is the best response. Mawdsley also explores playful fictional territory, including a humorous take on romance and finance. His website presents his creative writing, a gallery, and information about his background, alongside a newsletter for readers who want first access to new posts, videos, and author updates.
Based in Calgary on Treaty 7 territory, he also writes from experiences shaped by family life, summers on the Salish Sea, travel by sail and power, long motorcycle journeys north, and time spent in the Rockies
