Online Community Correspondent for the Northern Echo, Columnist for Unlock, The National Organisation for Reformed Offenders and Author. I started writing for magazines in 1996 and have continued writing ever since for newspapers, on-line and most recently a book. I hold a bachelor’s degree in criminology and a masters in social research methods. My articles have been published in local and regional newspapers and various magazines. In 2009, I launched my own community newspaper, Coastal View, to give local businesses their own medium. I have worked on the university circuit as a guest speaker to criminology students. I educated myself from inside prison where I gained my first ever qualification and started freelance writing for women's magazines. I have published my autobiography called, Never Ending Circles in 2011. In the book, I talk about my childhood and brief army career, leading up to the time I spent in prison. And about two very different prison cultures I experienced from the 'slop out' era to my second time in prison, by which time, things had changed drastically. I also talk openly about my crimes and my life struggle with depression and alcohol abuse, all of which contributed to my wayward life and how I eventually turned it all around using education and writing. I hope my book will offer encouragement to others who have had similar experiences and now wish to turn their lives around and hopefully my story of crime, carrying knives and alcohol abuse, will help deter some young people from falling into the same trap of self- destruction as I did. After I was released from prison, I went to university where I graduated in 2001 and again in 2003 after which I taught undergraduate criminology students towards the City & Guilds adult teaching certificate. I also continued shaping my journalism skills, by writing for the university’s student newspaper. Then in 2005, my first article for a regional newspaper appeared in t

Gary Smith’s blog The Thinking Vegan (http://thethinkingvegan.com ) focuses on veganism as a social justice movement, as opposed to a dietary plan. The blog’s philosophical bent is abolitionism and liberationism, which does not support any use of animals. The Thinking Vegan includes articles and posts, short notes and ideas, interviews with thinkers and doers in the vegan/animal advocacy community, guest posts, and a thinking vegan’s take on newsworthy events. The blog also features The Thinking Vegan Consortium, where we ask vegans engaged in different kinds of activism a single question and post their responses to show a diversity of perspectives on the same issue, and The Thinking Vegan Pop Quiz which asks readers for feedback on a specific topic. Gary and his wife started their public relations agency Evolotus PR (www.evolotuspr.com) in 2006. Through its work with mainstream journalists, Evolotus has helped move animal advocacy and veganism to the forefront of the American media discussion. Evolotus works with clients in categories such as animal advocacy, documentary films, health/wellness and vegan foods. They have represented films like Earthlings, Skin Trade, Forks Over Knives, Food Matters, Got the facts on Milk and Simply Raw; animal organizations including Beagle Freedom Project, ARME, the Fur Free West Hollywood campaign; and worked with Mercy For Animals on media outreach for the Farm to Fridge Tour and two recent undercover investigations.
