Steve worked as a Performance Poet, has had over 100 TV programmes and Films produced, 8 stage plays and 27 books published, including children’s, sci-fi, thrillers, history books and articles. He has performed one man 5 star shows at the Edinburgh Festival. Before becoming freelance he worked at various universities, including Oxford, Warwick, Sheffield. He has lectured and run Writing and Drama workshops and Masterclasses all over the world. He is an inveterate YouTuber, speaking on freedom of speech, politics, rescuing history from woke gremlins, the arts and education.
He has been cancelled professionally and personally numerous times for speaking what he believes to be the truth and these days wouldn’t have it any other way. He has 3 RTS Awards, 2 Writer’s Guild Awards, 2 BAFTA nominations, Best Film Award, Eric Gregory Award for Poetry, Best Brit Film, Royal Literary Fund Award, Travel Writing Award. He says that given that nearly everyone is given an award these days in the hope of shutting them up they don’t necessarily mean much.
He is appalled at the state of the nation and the murder of truth. It seemed to him that Advance was singularly going to attempt a rescue mission and having navigated the rigours of the interview for entry into the College he now feels he has a political home.
