……..is the unlikely name of a website which is all about getting your ideas on television:

“They say everyone has a novel inside them – Not From Concentrate believes that everyone has a TV show idea inside them.By using a combination of online resources and real-time mentoring, a housewife in Hull with a cracking quiz show or a bus driver from Bootle with the next big reality TV series can take their ideas to the next level. But hey, don’t just take our word for it. Give us a go and put us to the test. We’re open for business.”

If you do put them to the test, please let us know.

Our multi-talented 2007 graduate rounds up her latest events, both here & abroad.

Dani-Moseley_Mag-FrontCoverI got the shock of my life when a friend of mine in St Lucia sent a picture of me on the front cover of a St Lucian Magazine!  Basically the photographer was St Lucian, she’s well known and got interviewed for a mag over there. They asked to see/use some of her portfolio for the feature, so she let me know that they might use it for the interview.

So there I was thinking if they were going to use anything, it would be some small little insert in the article, but nooooo, not only did they use ‘my’ picture, they put it on the front cover, which I was WELL chuffed about! Gonna get a copy soon!   Continue reading →
