Michael Hodges wins PPA Columnist of the Year
Conville and Walsh are delighted to report that author Michael Hodges has won the prestigious PPA Award for Columnist of the Year 2010.
At a glamorous 1950s-themed ceremony in Mayfair, more than 1,000 guests from across the magazine publishing industry gathered for the 30th anniversary of the event, which celebrates editorial and publishing excellence in the consumer magazines and business media sector.
The awards were hosted by comedian Sean Lock who handed out a total of 22 awards on the night. Barry McIlheney, chief executive of the PPA, said: ‘The PPA Awards are the pinnacle of the magazine industry calendar and tonight’s event was no exception, providing a showcase for the phenomenal talent within the UK magazine sector. With a greater number of entries than last year our congratulations go to all those who made it to the shortlist. However, special praise must be reserved for the winners who stood out from an exceptional crowd.’
Michael writes for TimeOut and the New Statesman, amongst others, and his most recent book is AK47, a history of the iconic gun, which is published by Sceptre.
