Biography of Joseph Green
Joseph Green grew up in Manchester, close to busy market streets and floodlit football pitches. He was more of a doer than a bookworm, picking up a feel for language from terrace chants, late night radio, and conversations in his mum’s catering kitchen. At The Manchester Grammar School he learned to shape that raw instinct into clean sentences and clear arguments, filing short reports on school events and trying his hand at interviews. His mother ran a small catering business that taught him pace and teamwork.
