Writing

Hello, and welcome.

I’ve published seven books, in 16 languages: fiction, illustrated poetry, memoir and non-fiction.

The best seller? This one:

For years I was a journalist on the Financial Times and The Sunday Times of London.

I enjoy teaching others to write.

Art

A few years ago, I had a breakdown.

In psychiatric hospital, making art was a big part of my recovery.

Today, making art is a big part of how I make a living.

I live in London.

Speaking

Over the years, I’ve done a LOT of public speaking.

People seem to like hearing about How to Change The World, and about my breakdown and recovery.

And I LIKE giving talks, which gave me an idea for another book:

It’s based on a unique combination of classical rhetoric and theatrical improvisation (I trained with the best).

I teach others to speak with confidence.

On Interviews

My next non-fiction project is The Convosphere. It’s about how interviews transform public conversation and can change the world.
