“That’s what’s nice about talking to you: I feel you ask intelligent questions that you want to know an answer to, and it isn’t about exposing anyone or trying to make someone unstuck; it’s about the sort of stuff that’s interesting. Like you, actually. Someone who really knows the show, really cares about the show. You ask interesting questions, and it’s not a chore.”
– MATT SMITH, actor
“I enjoyed talking so freely with you. As a writer, talking about your craft is – well, the truth is, you don’t. The craft is the bit where it’s just you and a blank sheet of paper or a blank screen. Being interviewed about it can be a faintly Faustian bargain. But you ask really good questions. It was a lot of fun. Thank you.”
– NEIL GAIMAN, writer
“If every writer I’ve mentored over the past 15 years had first seen a copy of your book, it would have saved the industry a good decade of piss-poor, painting-by-numbers screen drama… It’s one of the most precious bundles of educational platinum that any writer could set their lamps on. It reads like an adventure, like real writing ought to. I mean this so sincerely. Huge congratulations. I’d love to buy you a drink some time for pulling this off.”
– PAUL ABBOTT, writer
