Neil Nixon is the author of more than two dozen books; a scriptwriter for screen, stage, and radio; a comedy writer; and a journalist who has published on subjects including sports, 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.
