Ulric Van den Bogaerde

Staff Profile

Like Johnny, my overriding interest has always been in writing and books.  I've sought various means to survive while writing, including a long stint in the film industry as a PA in a commercial production company, and then later as camera technician in film - reaching a terrifying high point as clapper loader [this will come in very handy at JS - Ed.] on Michael Winner's "Parting Shots", fondly described as the worst British film ever made.

In 1999 I was taken on as a script editor and later as a writer for Channel 5. Purged in 2001, I went freelance again and into the wonders of bookselling.  To my amazement I discovered that there was a vacancy at Blacklands Terrace and have been trying to make myself suitable ever since.  The rest of the time I scribble.
