About

Greetings.

I’ve challenged myself to write a post  for each issue of the much-missed Word magazine. It will start with the first and work steadily through them, highlighting anything that grabs my attention as I go. I hope to include interviews with a range of people involved in its production.

The Word Shuffle works like an iPod shuffle but with page numbers instead of tracks. It’s generated by a random number from http://www.random.org/ and I’ll briefly describe the contents of that page, often giving a sample quote. It’s the best way I can think of to remove myself from the process to some degree and to preserve some of the content and flavour of the magazine. I’ll try to update every 3-4 weeks at least and aim to be done by the end of 2017…but it could well take a lot longer.

The “My articles” page is designed to be a digital resting place for my various forays into the world of printed journalism over the years – with a bit of room for any other thoughts that might poke through.
