Mark’s writing is the real deal. His intimate knowledge of what makes audio drama work not just on the page, but in performance, means his prose sings in the ears. As an editor, he is also fantastic to work with. My scripts have improved vastly with his feedback in the time I’ve worked with him on Shadows at the Door, and I am always grateful for his patience, professionalism and implicit understanding of what constitutes a damn good story.

Brings the written word to life with skill, subtlety, chills, and heart. Delving into a horror story is an act of trust. Nixon has earned mine.

I have had the pleasure of collaborating with Mark for quite a few audio projects... His writing is always engaging & thoughtful, and his ability to craft horror stories for an audio setting is top-notch. As a creator and producer, he is professional and encouraging with a keen eye and ear for what makes audio horror so powerful. I look forward to the next opportunity to work with Mark. I highly encourage you to do the same and make him a part of your next project.
