I am the founder and Creative/Technical Director at ideas4writers.co.uk (thousands of great ideas to inspire your writing). Author of the The Fastest Way to Write Your Book, How to Win Short Story Competitions and the annual Date-A-Base Book series (thousands of upcoming newsworthy and notable anniversaries for you to write about and make money from). Editing, proofreading, publishing and book coaching services also available.
I am also the chairman of Cullompton Swimming Pool Campaign (www.cullypool.org.uk). The town has wanted a pool since 1922 and my aim is to make sure we finally get one.
