Ed Caesar is an author and feature writer. As a regular contributor to the Sunday Times Magazine and a contributing editor to British GQ, he has filed copy from Congo, Iran, Kosovo and Nantwich, and has been asked whether he is "anxious to die" by Kevin Costner. He is 31. 

In 2007, Caesar won the Press Gazette British Young Journalist of the Year Award. In 2010, he won both the Amnesty International Media Award and the One World Media Award for Congo: The Horror - an investigation for GQ into Britain's arms-length complicity in war crimes in the DRC.

In 2011, he won the Amnesty International Media Award for The Lost Boys - an investigation for GQ into jihadist recruitment on the Kenyan/Somali border. He also won the 2011 Foreign Press Association Media Award for his GQ article about the painful aftermath of the world's longest ever tennis match, between John Isner and Nicolas Mahut. 

Caesar is currently writing a book about the quest to break the two-hour marathon. The book will be published by Simon & Schuster in the USA, and Viking in the UK. He is represented by Karolina Sutton at the Curtis Brown agency.
