Who?

As I was saying... I'm a UK-based journalist, screenwriter and broadcaster. Throughout the 1990s I worked first as jazz editor and then a commissioning editor at Time Out magazine, as well as writing for Q magazine, the Independent, the Guardian, the Financial Times, the London Evening Standard and other newspapers and magazines. I left Time Out in 1999 to write a screenplay. Since then I've written film scripts for Film Four, Litmus Films and Momentum Pictures, and an episode of TEACHERS for Channel 4, some children's TV for CBBC and I'm currently writing an episode of WATERLOO ROAD, for the BBC. I'm represented by Joe Phillips at Curtis Brown. Fascinated by new media ever since the late 90s, when Nick Denton was launching First Tuesday around the corner from the Time Out offices, I launched London's property blog - the Rat and Mouse - at the beginning of 2005, and I'm currently contributing to a more ambitious start-up. I appear occasionally on Radio 3, presenting segments on the arts magazine show Nightwaves, jazz features in the late night Jazz on 3 slot, and Jazz File on Saturday afternoons. I write about arts, cultural trends, business and new media - and have a particular interest in ways internet technology can change our lives for the better. I'm always interested in new projects, so contact me if you think I can bring value.
