Articles and Essays

I have written a number of articles and essays for a range of different outlets. These include reviews and profiles as well as more scholarly works. Below is a list of the articles and their topics with a links to download samples and extracts from some of the articles.

If you wish to see the finished articles, or have any queries or comments, please contact me at the email address on the Home page.

  
  

  • 'Two Worlds Collide: Hypertext and Rewriting', a chapter for Reader Development in Practice: bringing literature to readers, edited by Susan Hornby and Bob Glass of Manchester Metropolitan University, to be published by Facet Publishing, April 2008.

    Since finishing my PhD thesis, I have delivered a number of seminars and conference papers developed from the topics covered in the work. One of these has led to a request to write this chapter. It looks at the concept of literary hypertexts and how readers and writers interact with them.


  
  

  • Two entries in the Facts on File Companion to the British Short Story & Short Fiction (20th Century Short Story) on Adam Mars-Jones and Jeremy Dyson published in March 2007.

    These were short profiles of the writers and their works for this extensive reference work.


  
  

  • Review of The Routledge Creative Writing Coursebook commissioned for publication in New Writing magazine to be published February 2007.

    This review was commissioned by New Writing following my attendance at the Great Writing conference in 2006.


  • Short literary essays for college-accessible database, contracted by EBSCO publishing: The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Fight Club and 'The Yellow Wallpaper'. The database was activated December 2006.

    These essays were similar in nature to the York Notes type of study book. They contained a synopsis, the relevant contexts for the work, suggested essay questions and further reading. I have recently been approached to write more essays for the same database.


  • Review of Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk published in Stirrings Still, Vol 2. Number 2, Fall/Winter 2005.

    Stirrings Still is an international journal of existential literature. This review was a contribution to an issue dedicated to the work of Chuck Palahniuk, the writer of Fight Club.
