==Career==
His first novel, 'The Intimates', was a Recommended Title for New Writing North’s 2011 Read Regional Campaign.〔 It was described by author Abigail Tarttelin as a 'measured, literary piece of work as hauntingly evocative of its setting and characters as Marilynne Robinson's Pulitzer Prize winner 'Housekeeping'. Culture Magazine were more critical, and called it 'unusually stylised for contemporary fiction'.〔http://www.newwritingnorth.com/writer-guy-mankowski-details-226.html New Writing North〕〔http://www.guymankowski.com/pdf/pdf_guy_culture.pdf The Culture Magazine〕 Mankowski's 'breakthrough' second novel,〔http://narcmagazine.com/literary-influences-guy-mankowski/ Narc Magazine Literary Influences〕'Letters From Yelena', followed the letters sent by a psychologically damaged ballerina to her lover, Noah.〔http://www.thejournal.co.uk/culture/arts/preview-letters-yelena-dance-city-4401485 The Journal〕 New Books Magazine described it as having 'shades of The Red Shoes and The Black Swan'.〔http://www.newbooksmag.com/reviews/12296-9379/review.php. New Books Magazine〕

Zero Books Author Profile〕 Whilst researching for it, Mankowski interviewed musicians such as Jehnny Beth from post-punk band Savages. It has been speculated that the novel he was researching was inspired by missing Manic Street Preachers guitarist Richey Edwards.〔http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/matthew-phillips/give-us-back-our-heroes-h_b_6061840.htmlThe Huffington Post〕〔http://narcmagazine.com/local-interview-how-i-left-the-national-grid/ Narc Magazine〕 It was noted that the books main character was ‘possibly based on Kingsley Chapman’ of The Chapman Family.〔 Narc Magazine called the novel a 'taut and psychological look at the life and times of a man thrust into the limelight.'〔 Of the novel, The Huffington Post said, 'Mankowski captures brilliantly the psychology of 'fan obsession'. Those of us who marvelled at 'The Secret History' or 'A Passage To India' are sure to find it equally enthralling'.〔 The novelist Andrew Crumey commented 'Already recognised as a major rising talent, Mankowski here establishes himself as a significant voice in British fiction'.〔http://www.zero-books.net/books/how-left-national-grid Zer0 Books〕〔http://www.northumbria.ac.uk/about-us/news-events/news/2015/01/can-a-famous-artist-truly-vanish/ Northumbria University News〕〔http://www.thejournal.co.uk/culture/event/guy-mankowski-how-i-left-the-national-grid-book-launch-/ The Journal〕 In 2015 Mankowski was Assistant Editor of ‘Crash Bank Wallop: The Story of The HBOS Whistleblower’.〔http://www.newwilberforce.co.uk/store/product/chapter-1-of-crash-bank-wallop/〕
