Jim McCauley
Jim is a freelance writer who has been largely occupied with writing about the mattress industry for the past few years. Jim spent most of 2023 working as Sleep Editor on TechRadar and learning more about mattresses than they ever wanted to know.
They started out on PC magazines in the 1990s and spent a lot of time writing about computers and video games. Since then they’ve branched out whenever new opportunities have come their way, and at various times they’ve found themselves writing about graphic design, politics, films and web design, as well as writing promotional material and video scripts for tech and video game companies.
In their spare time Jim is a trustee of Bath’s oldest community theatre group, and in October 2024, they’ll be assistant-directing (and briefly appearing in) Noël Coward’s Design for Living at the Rondo Theatre, Bath.
