I was recently invited to contribute to a blog on a site called Creative Choices - the focus of the site is resourcing and encouraging people either in or looking to transition to employment in the creative sector.

In the process of transferring my website over to this lovely shiny new format, I removed a lot of dead links to reviews and interviews that were no longer online. Fortunately, I knew a few of the writers, and so was able to get hold of transcripts of the original interviews direct from them.
