Will Hogan is a writer and author >>>>>>>>
I’ve written for magazines, journals and websites since 1999 - yes, the previous century. This covers words and ideas for everything from Channel 4 to niche sub-culture titles such as Sleazenation. Now I write books, screenplays and copy. Just to confuse things, I also write under my full name, William Hogan.
Let’s have a look at what I’ve been up to recently, eh readers?

Short Film
10 Seconds of Solitude is a short film I’ve penned for director Sam Robinson and producer Amy Fletcher. Filming June 2024.
TV Series
QUICKER THAN A BULLET
Between Los Angeles, New York and London, I’ve spent just over seven years writing the life story of an incredible man, and someone who I now count as a good friend – Nicky Corello.
Without divulging too much, the series is about a retired New York gangster who in later life had a Hollywood acting career. It charts the rise and fall of a small, but highly influential multi-racial gang that outwitted the NYPD, outplayed the five Mafia families – and rewrote the rules of organised crime. Currently it's under the wing of UNITED AGENTS with screenwriter Christopher Bell.
