Making My Own Space - The Autobiography Of Paul Burton:
Book Description:
From his early childhood, Paul Burton, now a prolific writer, producer, director and historian, always felt different, as though he were a square peg trying to fit into a round hole, and he was labelled a 'no-hoper'. However, this made him more determinded to prove everbody wrong, pursue his ambitions against all odds and carve out his own individually shaped niche. In effect, he has learnt how to make his own spaceThis inspiring autobiography gives a unique and fascinating insight into the world of the arts, inviting the reader to taste all the wonderful eclectic flavours of the theatre, film, television and radio media, to be transported on tours around fascinating locations, and to meet the many interesting actors, actresses, performers, producers, directors and writers that Paul Burton has been privileged to encounter on his roller-coaster journey of ups and downs, many of whom had been his childhood comedy heroes.
With a fitting foreword by actress & crime writer Linda Regan, Making My Own Space illustrates how dreams and ambitions can become an exciting reality. Paul Burton's aim in sharing his story is to provide the sparks of encouragement for others to light thie own flame, reach for their goals, persevere through difficult times and think, "Well, if he can achieve those things, then so can I."
Reviews:
Burton has worked for any accolades he has received. There's no such thing as a free lunch, and the author never asked for one. Whatever credit he receives he deserves.

I am so glad that Paul has penned an autobiography, as well as being an entertaining writer (who has also run his own arts projects), his knowledge of showbusiness is incredible. So I know you will enjoy reading about it as much as I enjoy him talk about it. I have worked in showbusiness all my life, and Paul knows more about the studios and programmes that I grew up and worked around, than I could ever hope to know.
