Though I won’t be dispensing writing advice, I have a fair bit of writing experience. I’ve worked as a commercial copywriter for many years, penning hundreds of articles on everything from health software to hypercars, cultural trends to crime prevention. None of them appear under the P C Minty moniker – that’s reserved for my books and website – but it’s out there. I’ve also written a whole bunch of educational resources, as well as three novels.

You’ll notice that the writing on the site is functional, rather than elegant and stylish. This isn’t intended as post-modern irony. It’s just that to get this website project over the line, in whatever form, requires me to stop endlessly dicking about with the prose.

If you’ve become mesmerised by this weird writing business, or if you’re thinking of starting, I’d love to hear from you. I hardly know anyone in real life, let alone writers, and it can be an isolating experience.

Talk to me in the comments or email me or hit me up on social media (when that arrives).
