This is something that's fascinated me since I was a child. Many years ago, scientists set out to discover which was the most beautiful sounding word. After some time, they decided that technically, the word "Cellardoor" was the most perfect sounding word in the English language. So, because I love words, and because I didn't have many friends, I gave myself a personal challenge to find the most perfect sounding sentence in the English language. This took up an incredible amount of time and at 32 years old, I finally cracked it. I am quite confident that the most beautiful sounding sentence is.... "Like in a book" Say it. Notice how the words sound and how they feel in your mouth as you say them. It makes me want to cry.

In the academic sense, absolutely none! When I was 8 years old, our school teacher asked us to go home and write a short poem about witches. I came back the next day with two things... The first was this: Witches are scary to those that are young They've warts on their noses Green hair and curled tongue If you were to see one in the dead of night Howling on her broomstick Sillhouette in full flight You wouldn't be blamed for giving a high shriek But if you were brave If you managed to speak You might say "Hello there, Ms Witch of the Night" And she would come down from the yellow moonlight She'd say "oh my dear, thank you, you are so sweet!" "All the kids run away but I just want to eat!" "To eat?" you gulp hard, "Do you want to eat me?" "No silly!", laughs witch, "children taste bad with tea!" The second thing was a folder with exactly 34 more poems about witches. Writers don't need qualifications.

In the first month of starting out on Upwork.com, I had no ratings or reviews, so I took on hundreds of little jobs to build up a profile. Some of them were poetically hilarious. I think my lowest point was writing a 4000 word article about the Best Toilets of 2019. The client turned out to be most unpleasant too. It took me 4 hours of research and I think I was paid $25. Got to start somewhere!

It's such a strange thing to explain, because it doesn't sound like it makes sense. I literally just start typing and the words come absolutely out of nowhere! I always advise people to not try think about ideas or wait for inspiration. There's a great power in simply starting to type. When I say I don't know where it comes from, it's like I literally amuse myself with what comes out! I often say "nice one, fingers!" (in a posh British accent)

I'm Jewish, so I get this question a lot! I always wanted to be a writer from as young as I can remember, but I always thought it wasn't possible to make a living from it. It was only when I had a go at it as a freelancer that I discovered it is in fact quite lucrative. Previously I was a photographer, and even though I was quite a well-known one, I found it frustrating that photographers were so under-valued (e.g. my cousin's friend's 14-year-old son takes nice pictures on his iPhone). Writing is quite the opposite. It turns out there are very few writers that are really good. Good writers are greatly valued. Also, I drive a Mercedes SLK AMG. Just saying.

Because I like schnitzel. A lot. It may be silly to you, but it's an act of genuine honesty. Do you know how many people Google search "meaningful tattoo"?

Thanks for asking! I am in fact :)

I guess I probably am...or perhaps more like "unusual". I am in fact High-Functioning Autistic, so I do view the world in my own unique way. Here are a few of my "Marc" quirks: - I'm 41 and still drink a glass of chocolate milk every night - I wear reading glasses with clear lenses. Because I think they look nice. - I like to go on vacation to legendary hotels with history. And then I just spend the whole time at the hotel. - I've never eaten a fruit (yuck) - I've never drank alcohol (yuck) - I often burst out into song. I like to sing really silly songs. My favourites are "Agadoo, push pineapple shake the tree", "Kokomo" by The Beach Boys and "Cold Hearted Snake" by Paula Abdul.

When you go on vacation, only allow yourself to keep one single photo. Delete all of them except one. That way you can later experience the magic of nostalgia and imagination. Think about that one black and white photo you have of your grandmother. There's so much missing information...every little inch of that photo holds a precious clue. Now think of your future grandchildren swiping through the eleventh photo of the same Prawn Linguini (but from a slightly different angle).

Gosh, I have so many! Here are a few... - Men over 30 should never wear open shoes - "Bohemian Rhapsody" was the worst written film of all time - Women are far superior than men (except for parallel parking and hand-to-hand combat) - Seafood is the best pizza topping
