One-Line Bio
Hi, I'm Alan Whelan. I need two blogs to contain the things I do. One shows my copywriting, ghostwriting and PR-ing, and the other covers my travels in Africa. You might like my book African Brew Ha-Ha. Call me - 01253 739285.
Biography
INKWELL [www.inkwellpr.co.uk]is an occasional blog of clients, ongoing work and things that interest me in the fields of copywriting, ghostwriting and PR.
African Brew Ha Ha [www.abhaha.com] is a never-ending quest for the ultimate cup of tea. I took the quest on the road in October 2007 on a six-month motorcycle trip from Lancashire to Cape Town, South Africa. My African travels continued in Ghana in 2010.
The book - AFRICAN BREW HA-HA - is available all over the world.
Interests
hanging out with amazonian chiefs, flying planes without a licence, shooing hippos off sandbanks, remaining upright on the triumph, trying not to look awestruck in the presence of the himba, leaving sweat on the seat of the third avenue bus, drinking with the ghosts in mcdaid's, coming to terms with james joyce, finding my way home the long way and, wherever possible, putting words in the right order while enjoying a nice cup of tea.
