One of the contributors to the anthology Dear Twelve-Year-Old Me is Paul Spalding-Mulcock.
Virtually unemployable after graduating with a degree in philosophy, Paul spent several decades as a management consultant. A life-long love of literature eventually catalyzed his decision to flee the corporate hamster wheel, with him transforming into a Literary Features Writer for The Yorkshire Times several years ago. Beyond reading, reviewing, and hiking with his wife, he writes darkly satirical short stories, and has a dreadful first novel limping clumsily towards completion.
