Many thanks for your message, JG. I am extremely flattered you think my career and critical approach merits an entry; now knowing I have such an attentive reader, I will redouble my efforts as a writer.

You mentioned industry awards: http://www.bsme.com/category/award/past-winners/page/2/ will verify I was gonged twice, in 1996 and 2002, by the British Society of Magazine Editors for different mags. Under my editorship in 1996 Mojo also won a major Professional Publishers Association award, but I cannot provide an authoritative source — the PPA website does not list past winners.

You may be interested to know that I am the nephew of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Snow and a descendant, via one of his brothers, of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Snow_(physician).

Thanks again and best wishes, Mat
