 Trevor Day trained as a zoologist and marine biologist before working in Egypt for the United Nations Development Programme as a fisheries biologist. Between the early 1980s and 1990s he worked as a lecturer, trainer and curriculum manager in further education and industry. During that time he was deputy director of an innovative teaching unit and provided research and training services to multinational companies.
Since 1992, Trevor has focused on researching and writing science works, and coaching or training people in effective reading and writing skills. He has written and co-authored more than forty books and numerous articles.
Trevor has particular expertise in writing about environmental issues, and especially marine science, but his work takes him right across the natural sciences spectrum. Trevor's travels in Australia and Europe since 1998 formed the basis for articles on whales, dolphins and sharks, culminating in the publication of the book Whale Watcher for the Natural History Museum (London).
In 1997, Trevor was short-listed for the Rhone-Poulenc Junior Prize for Science for his work on the Incredible Journey to the Centre of the Atom, published by Kingfisher (UK) and Barnes & Noble (US). It has since been translated into ten languages.
Trevor is a Fellow of the Royal Literary Fund and facilitates writing courses at the University of Bath and elsewhere. He also visits schools and colleges to enthuse young people about science and writing, and runs a writing and coaching business.
