Tony has spent over twenty two years as a writer, although much of that was as a journalist for magazine and newspaper media. During that time he was also active in the creation of written content for radio / television sketches and adverts, including shows and brands like Weekending, Hudlines, Spitting Image, The Capital Radio Group, Saga, Star FM, Plays and Players and Your Sinclair among others. In addition to this he has spent many years working in the PR arena writing press releases and arranging events for clients including Apollo Theatres, Learndirect, the West Midlands Labour Party and Jools Holland's Jam House.

He has been the 'showrunner' of IDW Publishing's

Doctor Who license, writing the critically and commercially acclaimed mini series Doctor Who: The Forgotten and all issues of the subsequent ongoing IDW Doctor Who series.

His creator owned book for Walker Books, Outlaw: The Legend Of Robin Hood has also been a critical and commercial success, and has been a Junior Library Guild Fall 2009 selection, an American Library Association and New York Public Library 'best of 2010' for teens and a Children's Choice Awards 2010 finalist.

His creator owned book for AAM/Markosia, From The Pages of Bram Stoker's Dracula: Harker was the first graphic novel sequel ever to gain an endorsement from a member of the Stoker family.

He has adapted Shadowmancer (G.P Taylor) as a 10 issue series of 22 page comics for AAM/Markosia, as well as the sequential art sections of books one to three of G.P. Taylor's The Doppleganger Chronicles. For Walker Books he has adapted the Raven's Gate series by Anthony Horowitz, the first due out in late 2010 with the second, Evil Star out in 2011.

Also for release in late 2010 he has adapted four of Anthony Horowitz's 'Horowitz Horror' tales - The Phone Goes Dead, Scared, The Hitchhiker and Killer Camera into graphic novellas for Franklin Watt / Hachette Childrens Books.

In May 2010 his biggest adaptation yet, the adaptation of the New York Times best-seller Pride & Prejudice & Zombies is released by Del Rey books as Pride & Prejudice & Zombies: the Graphic Novel.

In addition to this, he has started writing novels. The first of these is a book aimed at the teens market, DODGE & TWIST, a 'sequel' to Charles Dickens' classic tale set twelve years on and involving the theft of the Koh-I-Noor diamond. Labelled as 'Ocean's Eleven if written by Charles Dickens', this book brings back 'every surviving character from the first book - and a few of the dead ones as well.'

In 2009 Tony was invited to India as an ambassador on behalf of the British Council and toured three cities giving talks and workshops to schools and universities on writing and comics.
