I’ve been writing for publication since I was a student, a career that’s included worthy academic work as well as writing for the likes of Viz Comic, Sooty Films (scripting for a speechless glove puppet) a couple of novels and much non-fiction (particularly on rock music, the paranormal and football). I led the developments which founded the UK’s first full-time higher education course in Professional Writing and ran the course for 20 years before stepping out of academia into a part-time job in corporate PR, increasing my writing output and putting myself out to hire as a live speaker and consultant. More than anything I enjoy working with others to make things happen and probably count as a very approachable author!
