Writing Childhood

He wrote his first novel "The Complete Short Diary Tales" which consists of twelve characters where he portrayed each character in diary form. He sent the novel off to publisher, "Parragon Publications" where he was rejected due to the content of the novel not suitable for their publuishing outlet. they advised him to use "The Writers and Artists Yearbook" to send "The Complete Short Diary Tales" off to a variety of other publishing houses such as "Canongate Books Ltd", "Transworld Publishers" and "Pipers Ash Ltd.". Unfortunately he was rejected buy them due to again the content unsuitable for the publishers.The diary "The Rise Upon Wisdom" was discovered by an American based Publishers "Dorrance Co. Ltd" to see the manuscript. Unfortunately the diary wasn't virtually seen as promising. He turned his ambitions onto poetry where he had his first poem "Pencils" published in the local Batley Newspaper. from their on he had 12 poems published in anthologies under the imprint "United Press Ltd" where one of his comic poems "Chubby Lollypop Lady" nearly won one of their competitions. He turned to writing comic poems around thuis time where he made his debut comic poetry performance on the spoof spin off of "Batley's Got Talent" at the Batley Frontier Variety Club. He didn't win but became a finalist where he went onto perform at a variety of Open Mic nights in Leeds, Leicster, Birmingham and Wakefield. "Taxi" another comic poetry was discovered by a Leeds complex Poetry Magazine "Kraxx" and later published in the outlet.

He returned back to Short stories where he wrote a short children story called "Whippy Wirralls Adventures" for the GMTV Bedtime Story Competition which was judged by Geri Halliwell. This was also unsuccessfull.

Art

He debuted his Art Exhibition at Batley Library called "Author Depiction" at the age of thriteen. This consisted of him portraying author portraites in a way he views them in a classic novel. The Exhibition ran for 2 weeks in the summer of 2002.Jamie came 2nd in a "Design AN Ride" competition based at Pleasure Island, Cleethropes. Contenders had to desing a ride which was innovativa and imaginitive for the Public and a chance to fly to Italy to see the ride being manufactured and insatlled back at the Theme Park. His second exhbition which was postponed from Blackpool Pleasure Beach and displayed at again at the Batley Library was canvas paintings expressing his excitement for Blackpool Pleasure Beach. The Exhibition further titled "White Knuckle" was for the Globe Theatre at The Pleasure Beach where the assistant agreed to meet up to talk about the Exhibition. This was unsucessful come the summer of 2007. He moved more into performance where he produced his first short film "Strange Mystique Performance" for a space project at University. The film was sent to contests such as "Salon Video Art Prize 2010" and "The DMU Student Film Festival 2010". His second production "Havisham" became his most successful film where he designed, built the Set and performed as the eccentric Miss. Havisham. This allowed him to portray his own mystique adaptation as Miss. Havisham has always been his all time obsessive character out of a Charles Dickens Novel.
