Tim Quinn, Author-Editor-Manager-Session-2-Episode #362

Storybeat with Steve Cuden

This is Tim Quinn’s second time on StoryBeat. An author, editor, and manager, Tim was born and raised in Liverpool, England, the home of The Beatles.

He began his show business journey as a clown at Blackpool Tower Circus followed by working as a scriptwriter for various comedians of the period.

Comic books came next as Tim worked as a writer and editor for Britain's top periodicals followed by a long stint at Marvel Comics.

Alongside his comics work, Tim conducted interviews for newspapers and magazines with stars from the entertainment world followed by many years creating documentaries for London Weekend Television’s South Bank Show. During that time, he was also working as an editor for The Saturday Evening Post.

Tim and his wife, Jane, created the publishing company, Quill Publications, and a music business, Mighty Quinn Management.

Tim’s latest novel, Bigger than the Beatles, tells the story of a Liverpool boy who picked up a guitar in 1957 and went on to global success with his band, the Dream Daffodils. We follow his story across the years until his Final Death Tour in 2025. Many of Tim and Jane's real-life experiences in the music business are incorporated in the book.

I’ve read Bigger than the Beatles and can tell you it’s all that you’d expect from a Tim Quinn book: exceptional, incisive writing that’s filled with a huge helping of clever humor about the Liverpool music scene. I thoroughly enjoyed reading Bigger than the Beatles, and highly recommend it to you. It’s the second book of Tim’s that I’ve had the pleasure to read; the other being The Jolly Bloodbath. Tim has also published his autobiography, Argh, which I encourage you to check out.
