Alex Wilkinson

 by Ashley Lister

Alex J Wilkinson is a writer who has reviewed video games including Natural Selection 2 and Faster Than Light. Familiar with a broad range of games, including MMOs, MOBAs and RPGs; Alex is a writer who plays games and a gamer who writes.

Away from the PC games Alex enjoys science fiction and creative non-fiction.

Alex says: “My main goal with writing is to build up more of a portfolio of work which will hopefully allow me to take my writing further afield. I also hope to eventually get around to writing more fiction and generally writing more.”

Discussing his personal philosophy of writing, Alex advises:

“When writing news articles, or articles based in fact, your number one priority should be to inform the read and not mislead them. When possible write about areas that interest you personally. As writing is a very personal experience it often becomes very transparent when you write about areas in which you have little interest.”

Alex adds: “To get writing into the public domain these days is easier than ever before. If you enjoy writing you can setup your own site for free or for rather low over heads and get your writing out there. The more you write the better you get so often times if you can write, write!”

Alex is currently reading Bill Bryson’s Down Under and says it compares well to his own thoughts about Australia.
