Words Dept.: entry

I thought it was about time I mentioned that I’m quitting my job and going back to university. I will be finishing at Estates Gazette (which, in case you didn’t know, is where I work) on August 14 and will, from September, be studying for an MA in television documentary production at the University of Salford.

EG is a fine publication but I figured it was about time that I did something else with my career, after spending virtually the whole of my professional life there. I’ve always had an interest in documentary and have been lucky enough to find myself in a position where I can take a year out to (hopefully) forge a new career.

I will also be performing a “launch” of myself, as marketing people say, in the field of freelance journalism, copywriting and (possibly) blogger-for-hire. I know there are lots of high-powered people who for some reason look at this blog, so if you fancy giving me a job (after mid-August, natch) then please get in touch. As part of my “launch”, I have created a new website, catchily titled davidquinn.co.uk, which is now live. Go and have a look at it, it’s completely and utterly amazing. No, really.
