I have been lucky enough to make a living from writing and editing other people's words for about 14 years now. Throughout this time I've had my features, reviews, news stories and opinion pieces published in magazines here in the UK as well as on various websites. If you want to know more about the stuff I've done, and for whom, check out my LinkedIn profile here, or via the button below. My words have also been syndicated around Europe, prompting one Czech journalist to say 'your writing is like poetry'. And while I can't comment on how drunk/jetlagged/starved of entertainment he was at the time, it's a nice memory in the small hours as another deadline looms. I've edited, subbed and contributed to publications for clients including O2 and Tesco, had a stint writing true-life stories for Chat, interviewed the likes of Method Man, Hideo Kojima, Russell Howard, Andrew Stanton, and Orbital, have been covered in raw bacon (in the name of journalism) and, throughout it all, I've developed a pretty good instinct for what makes effective, entertaining copy whatever the situation. In the last two years I've rediscovered a passion for photography that first struck in my late teens among Winchester's multi-storey car parks. I've had some of my photographs published, and exhibited my work and I'm as proud of that as of anything I've ever written. I've written a feature length film script about a bromance between a frustrated megalomaniac and his spy nemesis that's been picked up (and put back down) several times and currently have blog called The Lost Film Archive that's a real remembrance of entirely made up cult movies. I'm working on two new scripts, now, and, well – in short, I'm happiest when I'm creating something, and I don't intend to stop.
