👋 Welcome 👋
Happy June everyone.
A couple of my own ventures put in for two of the big funding calls featured last month, but I finally realised my chances would be much better with some help, so I worked with a couple of professional grant writers to hopefully tick more of the boxes when it comes to assessment. I can heartily recommend them, so let me know if you want to be put in contact with them to help with any of your own applications.
And for those of you in the North of England, hopefully see you at my Games Talks Live events next week in Newcastle, Liverpool & Manchester - we've got an amazing lineup of 27 speakers, visiting publishers, a charity raffle, all culminating with award-winning comedy show, "Robot Chef".
