James Dunlop | My Words on Writing

Welcome to my latest questionable life decision: this YouTube channel.

This is where I document the bedlam of writing and self-publishing my series: the Andy MacKay thrillers, about a man who really shouldn’t be trusted with a lighter, let alone saving the world.

I used to be an advertising copywriter, which means I now overthink everything from plot structure to how to word the blurb on the back cover. In between, I make these videos. Partly to help you write and publish your book. Partly as emotional therapy. Be warned. You’ll find tips, hard-won lessons, and the occasional rant about the whole experience.
