Nick is passionate about language, politics, and history; finding creative solutions to beautiful problems, hip hop and Harry Potter, the songwriting magic of The Beatles; spending hours, days or weeks working and working and working to get to the "aha" moment, agonising over the pros and cons of the em dash, and the Oxford comma, the balletic prose of Khaled Hosseini, Cyanide and Happiness cartoons, Chris Nolan movies (the ones he understands and the ones he pretends to) and the pursuit of the perfect cup of coffee.
