In the early 1980s, Gaiman pursued journalism, conducting interviews and writing book reviews, as a means to learn about the world and to make connections that he hoped would later assist him in getting published.
U ranim 1980-ima Gaiman se bavio novinarstvom, obavljajući razgovore i pišući recenzije knjiga, u svrhu spoznavanja svijeta i stvaranja veza za koje se nadao da će mu u budućnosti pomoći pri izdavanju knjige.
