Introduction

Hello, my name is Tom Ashton.
I'm a third year Creative Writing student, co-head editor of the creative writing magazine 'The Writer's Quibble' and an aspiring author.
Mostly, I write transgressive fiction with elements of dark humour but i've also been known to write horror, thriller and fantasy. I'm also technically a published poet.
Furthermore, I recently a received a 'First' for a radio script I wrote, which has encouraged me to experiment in different areas.
On this blog you can expect to find my opinion columns, essays and reports as well as poetry and lots of prose.

Please leave me some feedback, in the comment boxes at bottom of each article as it is crucial to me as a writer and therefore greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Tom Ashton

Magazine Release Day

Hard day at the office today; first I had my opinion column stripped from me because one of the HEAD EDITORS fancied having a dig at it, then I was given it back when she became confused as to when the deadline was and then it was taken off me again because she wrote something last minute. Was not impressed. 
Then, I was asked to write a book review, which, upon submission, I was told it was too long and i'd have to cut it, I did and was then told it was too controversial. Why on earth wasn't I told it was too controversial to begin with? Why send it back and tell me to cut some words out? What a waste of my time.

Still, after a tedious wait for late submissions and a lot of proofreading, the latest edition's finally live. Check out some work from some great up and coming prose writers and poets @ http://writersquibble.blogspot.co.uk/ and have a look at some of the previous editions if you wish to read one of my rants.
