Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes, my nan had one. I got ink everywhere and was never allowed to use it again.

How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?

Drop me an email. Make your pitch clear and a little human - nobody likes talking to robots.

What's your favorite social network?

Twitter. Short, sharp, witty. A goldmine of sources. An invaluable platform on which to absorb and dispense information. Also: funny cats.
