Big Ideas, Real Impact.

Martin Fitzgerald is an author and screenwriter from London. His first book, Ruth and Martin’s Album Club (2017), was a collection of reviews of classic albums written by celebrities upon hearing them for the first time. It featured contributions from Richard Osman, Ian Rankin, Bonnie Greer and many more.

In 2020, he wrote his first screenplay, Campbeltown ’69, which focuses on Paul and Linda McCartney during the break-up of the Beatles. It’s currently in pre-production and due to be shot in 2026.

Martin’s particular interest is taking well-worn stories, approaching them from a new angle and finding the comedy and absurdity within them.

The Umbrella Man and Other Stories: What We Talk About When We Talk About the JFK Assassination is his latest book.

“My favourite book of the year.”

Richard Herring

“Brilliant, moving and at times funny, this original book reaches far beyond JFK and his tragic death. It’s about history and the way we remember things. Once I started reading, I couldn’t stop.”

Daniel Finkelstein, columnist at The Times

“Smart, restrained and refreshingly honest. I can’t recommend it enough.”

Al Murray

“A fascinating and informative look at the most famous assassination of all time, from fresh angles and new grassy knolls. I love it.”

David Quantick, Emmy Award-winning screenwriter, novelist and critic

“Brilliantly conceived! An anti-whodunnit that turns this case inside and out.”

Chris Chibnall, Sunday Times bestselling author of Death at the White Hart, BAFTA-winning screenwriter and creator of Broadchurch

“I have given over 1,000 interviews and trust me, no one thinks about this subject like Martin Fitzgerald.”

Dr Toni Glover, JFK assassination witness

“I’ve been a fan of Martin’s writing for a long time now, and here he brings his customary wit, insight and pathos to a fascinating subject. This isn’t a conspiracy compendium but a captivating examination of time, circumstance and human nature.”

J. Willgoose, Esq., Musician, Public Service Broadcasting

“Fitzgerald's fast-paced, fact-packed and frequently funny guide to JFK assassination lore sorts conspiracy from coincidence and does for the grassy knoll what Craig Brown’s One Two Three Four did for The Beatles.”

New World

“Fitzgerald unearths a host of incredible stories, some so peculiar they must surely be fiction? Who knows! The important thing is that they’re fascinating to chew on, whether you have spent your life obsessing over these events or have decided to take a look for the first time.”
