Warning: may contain nuts.

My name is Gavin (he/him) and I work for Wattpad as Community Lead, which is both an honour and a privilege. Aside from that, I suspect my normal state is dazed, grumpy and slightly confused. One day when I'm awake enough I will try and work it out. Until then, there's coffee...

I've been lucky enough to have a few short stories published but this community and the friends I have made on here have helped me become the writer I am today, largely due to the comment and critique I have received over the last few years. Useful critique is brilliant, so if you spot any mistakes in anything of mine you read, please feel free to let me know and I will have them forcibly removed.

I'm afraid I do not take read requests or follow4follow type requests. Please DO NOT spam my stories or my profile page. Spam = you asking me to read your stories or asking me to follow you.

Questions and comments are fine, fire away. But please do not spam me.
I started off on Wattpad as a writer, then became a Wattpad Ambassador (more details here if you're interested - http://www.wattpad.com/user/Ambassadors ), and I've worked for Wattpad since 2012 which is a blast.

For News and Updates be sure to follow the Wattpad profile http://www.wattpad.com/user/wattpad

Have fun on Wattpad. Cheers, Gav
