Swinbourne writes for the Guardian and BBC Online, and as a scriptwriter, penned My Song, Coming Out and Four Deaf Yorkshiremen.

Swinbourne published the article ‘The 10 annoying habits of hearing people’ went viral and broke all records on this site, a number of people wrote in asking the editor when they would be doing a Deaf Version.
