Isn't Elliam an odd name for a copywriting and editorial business?
Probably. We'd love to tell you it's the name of an ancient Celtic goddess who rescued her daughter Apostrophe from the clutches of Lorem Ipsum, the Dark Lord of the Underworld.
But it's not.
It's simply a contraction of our beloved daughter's first and middle names. It just sounds a bit like an ancient Celtic goddess.
Who's behind Elliam?
There are two of us - James and Scheenagh Harrington. We've both had a variety of meeja jobs. In fact, we met at work in 2000. We were married in a groovy ceremony at a place that had Castle in its name in 2003 and have been proud parents since 2005.
We've both written TV listings for national and regional newspapers. We've both interviewed famous people and written articles and features that have been published online and in newspapers.
Scheenagh still writes TV features and still interviews famous people. James was a sports editor and has been in charge of the motoring and entertainment supplements for a local newspaper. He has even written his own column.
