About Me

Hi! I’m Chris, a 32 year-old writer from Kingston-upon-Thames in Surrey, England but currently resident in Liverpool and Norwich – and no I haven’t met Alan Partridge! I write feature articles and news features that are regularly published in a variety of magazine titles in the UK, America, France and most recently Poland.I also work in television making documentaries on a wide spectrum of subjects including aviation, history and music. During the past twelve years I have been involved in the production of forty-nine TV programmes as either co-writer or researcher and for the past couple of years I have worked in the role of director on five TV programmes.I am currently working on my first book.I am also interested in working in theatre as a director and this is something that I hope to do in the future.
