James Scoltock studied journalism at Lincoln University and has gone on to have an award winning career in automotive publishing.

His first break in journalism was at The Sunday Times as a researcher and reporter on the business desk before moving over to the pan-European Automotive Engineer magazine, a title he worked on for almost nine years, three of those as editor.

In his time on Automotive Engineer he won the Market Engineering Automotive Technology Journalist of the Year award, as well as being named the Skoda Laurin and Klement Design Writer of the Year and the Cummins Commercial Vehicle Writer of the Year.

His passions as an author are three-fold: football, fantasy and science-fiction. His first book, Barclay Boy: Season in the Sun, a diary of Norwich City FC's rise through the divisions to the Premier League, was published in 2012.
