Although he became a paramedic after finishing his schooling, Glen McCoy had been interested in writing from an early age, and his job experiences inspired a 1982 book called Ambulance!. McCoy also aspired to break into television, and he approached the BBC about turning his book into a series. Although this did not come to pass, he did secure a commission for two 1983 episodes of he medical drama Angels. After watching Doctor Who with his three-year-old son, McCoy decided to pitch a storyline to the production office. The result became 1985's Timelash, which featured Colin Baker as the Sixth Doctor. He also novelised the serial for Target Books.

McCoy wrote sporadically for television over the next decade and a half, including episodes of EastEnders, Eldorado and Emmerdale Farm. However, his primary emphasis became corporate culture and coaching for business professionals. McCoy wrote several books on related subjects, such as 2011's Guerrilla Coaching. He also founded companies including Glen McCoy Consulting. McCoy returned to Doctor Who with a Third Doctor short story entitled Dream Devils, which appeared in the 2006 anthology Short Trips: The Centenarian from Big Finish Productions.
