Entering @game-writing.com's Write Club at GDC 2016 was truly a pivotal moment in my career. I finished in the top 3, and took the host's advice to buy the judges a drink afterwards. I became friends with amazing people, whose advice directly led to writing for AAA projects.

A photograph taken a few years ago by Giles Armstrong, showing the outside of the Prince Charles Cinema in London. Above the name of the cinema, another sign space usually displays names and times of the films they're showing, but instead it says "MERRY CHRISTMAS YA FILTHY ANIMAL"
