About

I’ve written for a number of gaming magazines and websites over the years, but I’m perhaps best remembered for five years spent at the captain’s table of PC Zone, which for a time was the best-selling PC games mag in the UK. Since those heady days I’ve launched and edited a number of print and digital gaming publications, among them the long-running EVE Online magazine Eon and meaty multi-format bible Games . Currently I edit the venerable UK games industry trade magazine MCV/DEVELOP, as well as help organise and host related awards and events. Away from the flimsy world of magazines I’ve written an inconsequential stack of half-baked fiction and edited two books on the subject of EVE Online, celebrating the MMO's fifth and tenth anniversaries respectively. I've also done a fair bit of consultation work, video production, podcasting and dabbled in aspects of marketing - but please keep that last bit to yourself.
