About Andrew Heaton

My name is Andrew. I'm a UK-based freelance writer and editor with a decent slab of experience to offer. I've worked in video games journalism in the past, but I also have a knowledge of SEO-related and general web content. Yes, I agree, I really am a party animal.

I have a BA (hons) in Creative & Professional Writing from the University of Wolverhampton, achieving a 2:1. I also have an MA in Social & Cultural Theory, but it's up to you to decide whether that's relevant to your interests or not. Ooh, I also *nearly* got me a PhD. Nearly. Still. Plod on, eh.

I've written for some well-known gaming sites, including Destructoid, PCGamesN, and Rock Paper Shotgun, as well working with marketing clients and businesses, such as via Croud.

I'm passionate about literature and comedy, and have been a longtime gamer. Is the gaming industry perfect? Pfft, not by a long shot, bucko!  But it will always hold a special place in my heart. I'm currently playing 7 Days to Die, because you gotta get those hearts somehow. Even zombie ones will suffice (what the hell am I talking about?).

With that, I'm particularly interested in working with video game studios, especially new and indie ones, but I'm open to any small business, particularly those local to Herefordshire.

I have a beard. If that seals the deal.
