At 18 Fleetwood went to live to France, and later moved to Italy at the age of 21.[1] He remained in Italy for the next fourteen years.[1] Fleetwood had his first art exhibition in 1970 at the Festival dei Due Mondi in Spoleto. He published his first novel, A Painter of Flowers, in 1971, and also designed the book's jacket.[1]

Fleetwood won the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize in 1974 for his second novel, The Girl Who Passed for Normal.[2] His 1977 novel The Order of Death formed the basis for the screenplay of the 1983 film Copkiller, starring Harvey Keitel and John Lydon.
