I'm not really a writer. I just happen to write now and again. I work for Ransom Publishing: it's my job to put the books together, finding or commissioning illustrations, designing layouts, working with the authors, etc. etc. I tend to pick up a lot of the more pedestrian writing - Teacher's Guides and Workbooks that nobody else is very keen to do.
I'm from Newport, South Wales (I've never been back) and got into publishing after about 25 years of doing other stuff, including studying Law (LLB Hons Nottingham University) MBA (Cass Business School, London), BBC Studio Manager, then about 8 years on the dole working in music: especially with This Heat and The Camberwell Now. Then consultancy bits and bobs and now here I am.I'm not really a writer. I just happen to write now and again.
