As well as fiction and non-fiction titles, Stewart Ross has written prize-winning books for children (his book The Story of Scotland won the Saltire Society prize), several plays, three librettos, and a musical.

He is a French speaker and teaches and directs plays in France; he also gives workshops and talks in the UK and further afield.
