The Musclecturer

A Happy New Year to all of you and thanks for dropping by!

It’s been a while since my last post due to being ill over the Xmas period. Much better now and raring to go this New Year as I hope you are too.

I’ve been giving some thought to how I was going to do this online version of the Careers in Multimedia book and had an idea. There is a chapter where the case studies now would be woefully outdated. So what I propose is that anyone who has a career in Multimedia could make their contributions on that post (when I get around to putting it up). Just hold on till then. By the way, only genuine articles that others will find helpful. NO spamming will be allowed…:-)

For now I’ll be putting up a chapter every couple of days or so.

Peace

Hi everyone

I am the musclecturer. I came up with this nickname while I was working at a further education college in Southend-on-Sea several years ago. Somehow, it has stuck with me, and since I am still both a bodybuilder and lecturer, I’ve decided to retain it and use it for the musclecturer.com domain name.

What can I say about me? I have taught in further, higher and adult education for about seven years. Went into teaching after being a secretarial temp for about 10 years, working my way from data entry to word-processing to being a PA to Directors of different organisations.

My degree is in Graphic Media Studies, obtained at West Herts College and I had done it after doing an HND in Printing Managment at the London College of Printing, with a view to getting into publishing and bookselling. This was before the Internet really took off with online booksellers such as Amazon, and Barnes and Noble.

I achieved my publishing dream when I self-published Careers in Multimedia in 1997. It had a rather high price tag of £9.95 and took about 3 years to break even with 250 copies, 10% which were issued for free as review books.

I’ve decided in recent months to develop this space, initially, as a resource for this book, as I place an updated version with links to relevant sites you will find useful should you wish to know more about getting into this field.

Feel free to browse each chapter as it is re-published and to make suggestions and comments.
