Miller wins Rising Star award at Games Media Awards

X360 magazine Deputy Editor is honoured by games industry at this year’s GMAs, held in London

It’s smiles all around at Imagine Publishing as one of its own, Simon Miller, celebrates winning the Rising Star Award at the Games Media Awards held by Intent Media last night (16 October 2008) at the Jongleurs Comedy Club in Camden, in front of 200 journalists and games industry executives.

Miller, Deputy Editor of Imagine’s bestselling independent Xbox 360 magazine, X360, began his career as a copywriter at Sony Computer Entertainment Europe before relocating to Bournemouth to join Imagine Publishing in 2006.

Since then he has honed his journalistic skills and relations within the games industry, becoming first Games Editor, and then Deputy Editor on X360 magazine in record time. Together with his team, Miller has also gone live this year with a regular series of popular Xbox 360 podcasts which can be found at www.ImaginePodcasts.com.

“It was a real honour to win the Rising Star award and I’m genuinely flattered by it. I’d like to thank those who voted and everyone at Imagine for their constant support” said Miller.

Damian Butt, Managing Director of Imagine Publishing commented: “In my 17 years in the games industry, I can honestly say that I have not met a nicer, more down-to-earth, and genuine individual, and it is a great privilege to work with Simon on a daily basis. I am extremely proud that the games industry has recognised his great work and given him this award, and it is thoroughly well-deserved.”
