About

This is the website of James Clive Matthews, a freelance writer, editor and online content consultant specialising in film, history, politics and travel (with a long, double-barrelled surname that necessitates the shortening to “J”).

The site is still under construction. In the meantime, you can take a look at my CV, read an article or two, browse around, or check out my surprisingly popular political weblog.

You could even offer me work
