Lyons, Paul K. ___ 1952-n/a ___ British ___ writer

BIOGRAPHICAL SUMMARY
Lyons was born in Hampstead, London, and educated at Broxbourne Grammar School and Cardiff University. Although his school teachers said there was no point in him going to university, he ended up with a first in maths and physics. After three years travelling (including periods of working in New Zealand and Chile), he returned to London. First, he took a job with the market research firm MORI, then he gravitated to journalism. During the mid-1980s, he spent two years working as a freelance correspondent in Brazil (for, among many others, The Economist, Flight International, Platts, FT newsletters, the BBC World Service). From 1987 to 1992, he was employed by Financial Times Business Information, where he edited (and launched) newsletters on energy. From 1993 to 2002, he ran his own small, but successful, business (EC Inform) publishing newsletters on European Union energy, environment and transport policies. Since 2003, Lyons has been focusing on various writing projects, including The Diary Junction.

IMPORTANT NOTES AND CAUTIONS:
1) The first line of basic information may be incomplete in several ways: some historical figures have different names (titles, pen-names); their birth and death dates may be unknown or uncertain (g - guess, c - circa); similarly, their occupations may be unknown, or they may have had other jobs; and, for early diarists, I've used 'British' a bit too freely. 2) The biographical summary may not be accurate. It was compiled quickly from various sources, mostly on the internet, and the facts were not checked anywhere near as rigorously as they would have been if they'd been intended for publication in a printed form. 3) The journal dates and descriptors (which are in no particular order) must be treated with caution: since I have not examined the diaries myself, the descriptors are only guesses based on bibliographies, anthologies and internet biographies. 4) For the biography and etext links, I have ignored any sites with charges, and I have avoided, wherever possible, those with pop-ups or too much advertising. I have limited myself to providing three etext links where there is some variety between them. 5) For the original manuscript links, I have limited myself to providing a maximum of two (although, for a few diarists, their original diaries are held in more than two places). 6) I have provided the titles - chosen randomly - for up to three printed editions of the diaries.
