Hey there!

My name is Tobias Anthony and I'm a writer and humourist who specialises in creating giftable books with personality. My titles have been published in Europe, North America, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Australia.

Some of my best loved titles include, Hipster Baby Names: Really, Really Ridiculously Good Names for Your Kid; A Very Modern Dictionary; Ginger Pride: A red-headed history of the world; and Should I Buy This Book?: Life's Hardest Decisions Made Easy… by Flow Chart. Or, as it's known in Sweden: Ska jag köpa den här boken?

If you share the same enthusiasm for flow charts as me and would like more everyday dilemmas solved using them, follow me on Instagram @DecisionsByFlowChart.
