Neil Nixon spent most of his adult life combining the careers of a professional creative and an academic. He is the author of over two dozen books, a scriptwriter for screen, stage and radio, a comedy writer and a journalist who has published on subjects including sport, current affairs and music. UFOs and the paranormal have been a mainstay of his writing work. For decades this work was combined with teaching those who wanted to work in the media industry and for the final two decades of Neil's academic career he founded and ran the UK's first full-time higher education course in Professional Writing.
