Richard Price was born in 1966 and grew up in Scotland. He trained as a journalist at Napier College, Edinburgh, before studying English at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow. The youngest of the Informationist group of poets, he was a founder of the magazines associated with them, Gairfish and Southfields. He is also the co-founder of Vennel Press, the imprint which brought many of the earlier Informationist collections to a wider audience. He is now Head of Content and Research Strategy at the British Library, London.
