Christopher's Bio

Hi. I am 23 years old and have just completed my fourth and final year at the University of Durham, England where I achieved a 2:1 B.A degree in French, Spanish and Catalan.

Having done work experience as a write for a local newspaper recently, I am due to start a full-time NCTJ newspaper course in Wimbledon, during which time I hope to learn a lot about my skills, my writing and my career of choice.

After this, I have hopes of becoming an outstanding sports, food or travel writer at The Independent, The Guardian or another prestigious national newspaper or broadcasting corporation either in England or in Europe.

Please feel free to leave your thoughts, whether positive or negative, on my profile or under my articles - especially if you disagree with something I have typed. .

Hmm will be tough for Spurs, much depend on Ledley King's fitness. He's a figurehead both on and off the pitch. But they have the talent-though they've had that for a long time. Redknapp's probably the best manager they've had since Jol, who they should never have got rid off. Was good work, enjoyed reading it.

Hey Christopher,

I've written an article about Liverpool with religious connections as it is Easter Sunday. Now, I'm not the most religious guy on this earth, as you may have guessed, so I'm not sure how it has come out! I would appreciate your thoughts and views on it as I'm not convinced it came out as well as I had planned!

Hey Christopher!

Here's how the writer rankings work: http://bleacherreport.com/writer_rankings

Here are some ways to increase your readership/best climb the rankings:

http://blog.bleacherreport.com/2007/12/11/how-to-get-your-articles-on-the-front-page/

http://blog.bleacherreport.com/2008/10/01/a-proven-method-for-improving-your-bleacher-report-readership/

In terms of falling off the list: If you go seven or more days without EITHER writing an article OR logging into Bleacher Report, you will fall off of the Top Writers list temporarily.

That said, as soon as you log back in/write another article, you'll jump right back up to where you belong.

In other words, there is no long-term harm done to your exposure for inactivity, just short term.

Let me know if you have further questions. Keep up the great work!
