Welcome!

I’m John-Paul. I’m a writer and artist. I live in London.

Books

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’ve published many things in serial form, as email newsletters. Some are still available, and very much worth your time

Over the years, I’ve done a lot of public speaking, talks and workshops.

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

Giving talks gave me an idea for another book. Swipe to see who I’ve worked with:

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

I teach others to speak with confidence.

Public Speaking: Beat The Fear
In 30 Days. Based on my book.

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.

A few years ago, I asked some people about conversations that had changed their lives.
