It’s that time of year again: the time of year when I finally get around to updating the social media timeline. This year I added in some older social platforms that are just coming into vogue, but have been around for a few years. As always, the caveat here is that though I try […]
Finally. It has taken me ages to get around to updating and correcting the older models – mainly because this one had to be an entire re-build instead of just adding content. This does not include all social media. It does not include all key events in the world of social and tech. It does […]
Because of the state of ‘ownership’ of social platforms — a topic I shall not be diving into here — there is a lot of upheaval and change in the world of social media and people trying to develop new, old things. What this means is that now updating the timeline has to be done […]
And, why we, as HE providers should look west. Several years ago, I spoke at a conference about why it’s better for an American student to undertake their postgraduate studies in the UK. I turned this into a paper that I’ve updated occasionally over the years. The last update was in 2017, but I […]
How exciting. It’s literally been years in the making, but at the end of July, my first book: Books and Social Media: how the digital age is shaping the printed word is out.

It’s been unforgivably long since I’ve posted anything here. I know that all 5 of you who occasionally stumble upon this site have been waiting anxiously for updates… But let me catch you up. I am now a senior lecturer and the Publishing MA coordinator at Oxford Brookes University. The role is full-on, busy, and […]
About a month ago I broke the shit out of my leg playing roller derby. It was no one’s fault. It’s a dangerous sport with a high level of physical stress, and it was just a bit of bad luck where I was knocked over and my foot didn’t move. Damn foot. After 2.5 […]
Thanks to a generous grant from The Bridge Awards I was able to attend the 2016 Futurebook Conference in London on December 04, 2016. This was in order to further my doctoral research on whether social media can be a slush pile for traditionally published products and how publishing models need to shift to accommodate […]
