I've been a little quiet since publishing YELLOW at the end of last year.. It's not been for a lack of ideas , but the summer was nice I was knackered after making that book. But for anyone who's bumped into me this year or gotten trapped talking to me at a magazine event, they'll know there was something bubbling.

That magazine is SHINER - a new magazine for young men. We're slowly pulling together a very exicitng team of raw, young talent to help us shone a lot on the real lives of young men and we're looking at a first issue in early 2017. But for now you can read the full manifesto at: shinermagazine.co.uk
