A fascination with the media’s creative potential, and pervasive effects, lead me to explore its component industries - advertising, public relations and newspapers - and the constituent academic disciplines of sociology, psychology and cultural theory. I have gained a wealth of skills and experience, from the conceptual to the fine print of implementation, but have enjoyed most the managerial opportunities to engage with my contemporaries. “James is a model employee and journalist… We wouldn’t hesitate to take him back.” “[He Wore Black and Tan] is very, very good. You really have created a wonderful universe with very interesting characters . I think it would make a really interesting and exciting film, congratulations... The character of Butler is wonderful and one I would certainly like to play.” “I imagine you are a very experienced writer. This [screenplay] shows not only talent but skill.” “I can see amazing cinematic potential in Carrion Lords [screenplay].” “Insightful and ambitious - in the best sense of the word - Zul already has a distinctive voice in a highly competitive arena.” “I hope you come back — as the next Editor of the paper.” — Jane Crust, Deputy Managing Editor, the Financial Times
