Hello Mr.Mark2410,
You are quite right, I haven't noticed you previously. I did just have a look at your posted profile to learn a bit of your ownership experience and reviewing history going back to 2010 or thereabouts.
I don't have a useful way of presenting you to "possible employment" other than recommend you use a Headhunter's services who will whore you out to a Corporation's PR Department ( based on your scribbling abilities ). I have no doubts that you possess a significant knowledge of "Life context" to frame your efforts. Steve Gutenberg managed to find a home with CNET, perhaps one of the Guardian type of News outlets would now benefit from your obvious insight into Smart Phone's emerging Audiophile aspirations and present you with "something". A nice little "weekly" column from the "North" would be a '''well read" feature and (more importantly) a way into recognition. Do any of your Newspapers have an Authority writer on Audiophile things?, perhaps they should.
I only discovered you today because of my interest in Etymotic, I think it's purely by chance. Perhaps you might do a bit of polish work on this review and submit it to all of London's legitimate News Organizations as an example ( resume ). Certainly, one of these outfits will....
Still, Cream finds it way to the top. You've focused on a niche which serves to limit your exposure but your prose shines thru, someone will grasp your writing "gift", you will widen your appeal and you will grow, it's only a matter of time and opportunity, I encourage you to help those looking for talent by presenting yourself to them for consideration. I have a feeling that JA at Stereophile is "stocking-up" on new writers, he's a Brit.
Writing is hard work, "Genius" writing is much harder work ( with a bit of insight ), I think you have that "rare" insight.
I suppose that I don't have to encourage you to "not give up", you've been at this for some time now. Go ahead and plant some seeds in more fertile soil. Head-Fi is Kindergarten.
