Paul has been a journalist for over 25 years on leading Fleet Street titles including the Daily Mirror, Today and The Sun. His main interest outside work was always amateur astronomy, and, in 2005, he decided to combine his journalistic skills and expertise in space science to take his career in a new direction. Paul's mission statement is simple: To convey the excitement of astronomy and space research to ordinary people accurately but in plain English, avoiding complex jargon. His commissions have included several features for top-selling UK daily newspaper The Sun, but his work has appeared in titles from The Times to the Daily Express. Paul has written a full-colour guide to astronomy since the agency was set up and helped produce a second book that was aimed at children. His latest book, about the solar system, was produced for Reader's Digest Called Where Did Pluto Go?, it is being published in various editions worldwide. He has also edited or contributed to leading astronomy publications, is a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, and belongs to the Association of British Science Writers.
