James Hanton’s Biography

I have been writing for various publications since January 2016. I started writing with The Student, the oldest student newspaper in the UK. I predominantly write for the film section, but have also contributed content in the following areas: news, comment, features, lifestyle, science & technology, culture, music, TV and sport.

I have also been an editor and copy editor for The Student, prior to becoming Editor-in-Chief in September 2018. I guided the newspaper through a redesign period and assisted in the training of new editors.

I also contribute to the recently established Outtake Mag, and to Starburst Magazine UK - the world's longest running magazine of cult entertainment. I have also had several articles published with The National Student, and have just started contributing to The Wee Review.

I currently work in the University of Edinburgh's School of Economics as an Administrative Assistant. I also recently graduated with a First Class Honours in Social Anthropology.

I am passionate about movies and cinema. Even the smallest pieces of news excite me as much as the next big release. I also indulge myself in TV and am an avid user of social media.
