Happy new year!
Over Christmas, I was discussing my website with a fellow writer. Smugly, I told them that I manage to update it quite regularly.
That’s when I looked to discover it had actually been over six months since the last update.
Awkward…
So, welcome to the next installment of ‘What’s happening with Chris’.
Last year flew by, with lots keeping me busy, both personally and professionally. Some highlights included plenty of travel (Milan, Florence and Stockholm among others), new commercial clients, and articles published in Men’s Fitness, Smithsonian Magazine, Metro and a few others.
You can read these on my new ‘Articles’ tab (which will be added to this site at some point in January).
Elsewhere in 2024, I also updated my third Swansea City book, Match of My Life, for a new paperback edition, which was really cool. I’d love to see one of my other books enjoy a reprint and new material, although that’s up for the publishers to decide.
What’s happening in 2025?
Onto this year and there’s a lot coming up!
Early in the year I will have my third article published in Men’s Fitness magazine. This is an interesting one that looks at recovery, fitness and football. Keep an eye out for the March edition.
Around the same time, I will have an article out in Men’s Health magazine. This will be focused on dating and relationships, with a twist. It’s my debut for this renowned magazine, and something I’m really looking forward to to seeing in print.
Meanwhile, I am also writing debut articles for ITALY Magazine and Business Insider, with these coming up in the next month or so. I’ll link to them all when they are published.
Looking further ahead, in October, I have another article scheduled for the legendary Smithsonian Magazine. This article will be about another American icon, but I can’t say what yet. It’s been such a fun article to work on, I love writing for such a prestigious magazine.
Anything else?
Elsewhere, while no books are in the pipeline this year, I am always working on ideas and may have something to share later in the year.
Finally, back in October, I created a test video to see if my editing skills were still up to previous standards (spoiler: they were). I filmed a short video on the Dylan Thomas locations around Swansea, which you can view now on YouTube. I am likely to produce a few more in 2025, so feel free to subscribe to my channel while you are there.
Anyway, that’s about all from me at the moment. If you’re reading this, I hope your 2025 is healthy and happy. Catch you soon!
