I'm a 29-year-old British writer who recently published his first book to critical acclaim. Which was nice. As well as being a writer, I'm an Associate Lecturer in psychological research methods at the Open University, and I'm Psychology Section Editor for the UK's Social Science Information Gateway (SOSIG). Say howdy via ian_hocking (at) uk2.net, particularly if you’re a literary agent.
