Michalowski's first published work was a short story in the Big Finish Productions' collection Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Dead Men's Diaries, which was the result of a chance meeting with producer Gary Russell whilst both were visiting BBC Manchester. He continued writing short stories for Big Finish's Short Trips range, and also for a variety of charity fanzines, before his first novel, Relative Dementias was published as part of the BBC Books Past Doctor Adventures. This was widely well-received, and led to a further novel being published by the BBC, this time an Eighth Doctor Adventure called Halflife.
His next published novel was the Big Finish Bernice Summerfield novel The Tree of Life, followed by the story "Let There Be Stars" in the Bernice Summerfield anthology Collected Works and other stories for collections by the same company.
A further Doctor Who novel was published in September 2007, Wetworld featuring the 10th Doctor and Martha, and a second NSA released in September 2008, Shining Darkness featuring the 10th Doctor and Donna.
Since then he has contributed a story to the audio play Forty Five to help celebrate the 45th anniversary of Doctor Who, as well as written the Iris Wildthyme audio The Sound of Fear.
He has also contributed graphic design work to Obverse Books, designing the cover for their short story collection, Iris Wildthyme and the Celestial Omnibus, for which company he also contributed a story in The Panda Book of Horror.
A Being Human novel, Chasers, was released in 2010, as was a short story for the Bernice Summerfield collection Secret Histories.
His latest work is The Ghosts of Mercury, book #3 in the first series of & Beyond, due for release late 2011.
