Paul Magrs lives in Levenshulme with his partner, author Jeremy Hoad. Jeremy was given co-writing credits on the novel The Blue Angel, in 1999. Paul also has a brother named Mark.
In the DWU[]
Paul Cornell was a college classmate of Magrs. In his Virgin New Adventure Love and War, Cornell named a junior archaeologist in Bernice Summerfield's party after him.[2]
Later, in Bafflement and Devotion Magrs introduced a closer to reality, quasi-biographical version of himself, which the real Magrs has used on numerous occasions in many stories.
