"Gutters are your secret weapon." No, I will not

"Gutters are your secret weapon."

No, I will not provide any context to that statement.

...Okay, fine. Maybe a little.

With all the crazy social media hoo-ha about comic book scripts recently, I thought it was about time to dive into the basics of my writing methods, and why using 'the Marvel Method' that Stan Lee used (and some writers continue to use today) is far from "lazy".

The first part of my comic book writing class is free to read until Monday before it locks to upper tier subscribers, so feel free to spread the word (or words, as it were).

Happy and honoured to be on yet another @bafta Gam

Happy and honoured to be on yet another @bafta Games Awards judging panel, this time going through the staggeringly great selection of nominees for Best Debut Game.

Big thanks to both BAFTA and @omnislash92 for inviting (and expertly chairing) such a fun and interesting panel, alongside an array of talented and insightful peers. Best of luck to all of the nominees!

(One day I'm going to actually be able to attend the Awards and nominees party... one day.)

Continuing the whirlwind of 2024 so far, I was humbled and honoured when asked to write a personal column for one of the publishing industry's leading periodicals, @_thebookseller.

Ahead of this Thursday's Black to the Future panel on The Other in Fantasy (@bttf_space), I delved into my thoughts and challenges of writing fantasy series Magic of Myths from the perspective of being a black person confronted with an interesting - and brutally honest - question...
